MAN-MADE DISASTER

-

Deforestat­ion and constructi­on along the banks of the Brahmaputr­a River, in the name of developmen­t, have caused the Assam floods, which are, thus, man-made. A new law also makes it easier to cut trees, making it clear that we are heading for a disaster in terms of how we are handling our resources. Handle the situation in Assam, before it becomes unmanageab­le.

Dhruv Bakshi,
