So
the monsoons have done it again and the PMC is
running for cover! The unprecedented heavy
rainfalls have converted the roads and
localities of Patna into a floating myriad of
garbage, filth and remains of what, a normal
civilised and clean society does not wish to
live with. What surprises me is that this
scenario keeps haunting us year after year and
still the Municipal Corporation fails to learn
from its mistakes.
The government and the municipal corporation
apart, I believe the people of Patna are to be
held equally responsible for their misery. We
seem to have developed a mentality of just
sitting back, and blaming the government for all
our tragedies, when at the back of our mind
(hopefully!!) we know that remedial measures
taken by us, would have prevented such wide
scale water logging.
The continuous use of polythene, our habit of
littering our neighbouring areas, the hospital
wastes thrown on the road etc all go on to
aggravate this situation. Had we learnt from our
mistakes, we would have incorporated better
means to dispose off the garbage and thus not
clogged the sewer systems!! I know I might be
ostracised for speaking my mind, when all of us
are blaming the government, but I believe its
high time we accept our own mistakes and learn
from them. While the other states have
progressed rapidly over the years, ours has
deteriorated instead.
I sincerely hope that the government and the
people, both realise that it's high time, our
mentality and living style was done away with
for a better tomorrow. Both should work hand in
hand, accept our responsibilities and duties so
that these nightmares NEVER return to haunt us
again, because they say "It takes two to
tango!!".
