As the monsoon rains have set in, the showers portend a reprieve for many from the unbearable heat. However, it is not all rosy for everyone. The National Disaster Management Authority has repeatedly issued warnings of potential flooding in areas across the country in recent weeks. Yet, it seems that the alarm bells are ringing on deaf ears. This is in line with the governmental tradition of letting the crisis balloon before actually fixing it.
The authorities must wake up from their deep slumber and put their house in order. Measures such as sustainable use of resources, capacity building, and rigorous planning for natural disasters are paramount.
