State govts should pay attention to flood prevention: Mayawati

Lucknow: Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) supremo Mayawati on Sunday alleged that state governments were unable to deal with the flood situation caused by heavy rains in the country and suggested them to pay attention to flood prevention.

In a post on the social media platform X, she said that as the government was unable to handle the flood situation, the lives of lakhs of families have been disrupted.

"Such devastation ruins lives. Not only relief, governments should also pay proper attention to flood prevention," Mayawati added.

देश के विभिन्न राज्यों में भारी बारिश के कारण आयी बाढ़ की स्थिति से सही से नहीं निपट पाने के कारण लाखों परिवारों का जीवन अस्त-व्यस्त हो गया है तथा ऐसी तबाही लोगों का जीवन बर्बाद कर देती है। सिर्फ राहत ही नहीं बल्कि सरकारों को बाढ़ निवारण पर भी समुचित ध्यान देना चाहिए।
