"It is the goodness of the poor that they don't commit suicides"

Flood in Kosi river ,a nightmare of every Biharis.

The only practicl remedy is a Dam in Kosi river.without Nepal giving site to build a dam, India can not move further. The problem is that Kosi river has too big a catchment area and that will face water logging. Nepal will try to save its side and its people in case of heavy rains and will keep control of gates in it's hands.Even now, around 10 lakh people live between river and the embankment area.

According to Dinesh Kumar Mishra
Environmentalist and engineer "Bihar is destined to die. Nobody counts us.Who listens to us? Nobody. Biharis keep dying due to floods, but nation doesn't take notice of them. I know so many families in north Bihar who have lost their homes 14 times due to floods after Independence. Then, so what? Does anybody care for them? Do you know last year 960 people died due to floods in North Bihar? "

He Adds "It is the goodness of the poor that they don't commit suicides"
