Most of the solution to Kosi does not take into account that Kosi area lies in the worst seismic zones of the world. With this in mind a dam will be dangerous like a
sword ever hanging over the head. The deluge and the loss of humans and
properties is expected to be much more than what the world has seen in Kosi
this year if dams breakdown due to Earthquake.
You have assumed ever flourishing corruption in India but your proposals do
not take them into account. There is no culture of routine or planned
Maintenance in our working except in central PSUs or Private industries - we
wait for the break downs even for our domestic gadgets. Govts are champions
of this Breakdown- Maintenance culture. All the time silt gets deposited
but no silt removal programme is ever on.
Our Engg thinking is intentionally backward. For North-South flowing flood
we have East- West Rail-Roads on almost the same ground level. What can be
expected except anarchy and chaos during such a calamity as Kosi Floods 2008
when there was complete break down of Rail Road communication.
World without dams cannot be thought of in today's world because once a
Technology or Engg marvels are created they do not go back as they provide
both money and comforts to the elites of the society. But this cannot be a
prescription for all the time and all the places. Loss of Human lives and
properties cannot be allowed to be put to experimentation for ever.
I must confess that I dont claim to be a Flood control expert.So it is
a result of common sense approach in which no satellite pictures of American
and European rivers have been taken into account. And anyway the richest and
most efficient country equipped with all the resources and Advanced planning
is not coping up with 100% success with the natural disaster. So they cannot
be cited as examples for every place and every occasion.
In view of this and many other aspects I request you to think in terms of
Kosi without dams.

मेरे बारे में
- परिवर्त्तन
- मैं परिवर्त्तन हूँ। जीवन के हर पहलु चाहे वह समाज व्यवस्था हो, अर्थ व्यवस्था हो, शिक्षण हो या ज्ञान विज्ञानं, राजनीति हो, खाद्य सुरक्षा हो या फिर आजीविका सम्बन्धित प्रश्न हो या पर्यावरण या जल प्रबंधन मैं गतिशील रहना चाहता हूँ. लेकिन मुझे परिवर्त्तन वही पसंद है जो क्रांतिकारी और प्रगतिशील हो, आम आदमी के भले के लिए हो और उसके पक्ष में हो, जो कमजोर वर्ग की भलाई के लिए हो जैसे बच्चे, महिलाएं, किसान, मजदूर, आदिवासी इत्यादि। मैं उनलोगों का साथ देता हूँ जो आगे देखू है। पीछे देखू और बगल देखुओं से सख्त नफरत है मुझे। क्या अब आप मेरे साथ चलना चाहेंगे? तो आइये हम आप मिलकर एक तूफ़ान की शक्ल में आगे बढ़ें और गरीबी, अज्ञान के अंधकार और हर प्रकार के अन्याय एवं भ्रष्टाचार जैसे कोढ़ पर पुरजोर हमला करते हुए उसे जड़ से उखाड़ फेंके।
