Even low to moderate amounts of rain are enough to flood our streets, making life difficult. As a nation, we generally experience a lot of rain, sometimes even off-season -- this is a universally known fact. A clear, strategic plan has always been lacking, with different government agencies preferring to play blame games rather than solve the problem. The government has now, at long last, decided to shift the responsibility of solving the waterlogging problem to DNCC and DSCC. When we cut corners and let people prioritize short-term profit over the big picture, we only shoot ourselves in the foot.
