Rains In most of the states of India rainy season increases woes of most of the population. There are only a few state which have tamed the rivers that used to bring havoc in the past. When it is the rainy season hundreds of people die because of the reasons that are related to incessant rains. One of the major reason is floods. We have seen that during the first week of July when rainy season was in its initial stages, more than hundred people had died in some some north-eastern states that included West Bengal and millions were displaced or marooned because of floods especially in Brahmaputra river.

Building Collapse Last years many people had died in Mumbai because of incessant rains that had caused floods. This year it has happened but administration had done a lot of work in advance to prevent such kind catastrophe from happening. But 20 person have died and many got injured when a four-storey building collapsed on Wednesday in south Mumbai. Administration had already declared it a dangerous building and had asked the tenants to evict it. This kind of incidents happen every year in India when old buildings collapse during the rainy season.

Rising Waters More than 65 persons have been killed in Andhra Pradesh because of floods in rivers and water bodies of 15 districts of the state . Because of rising water in the Kolleru lake  thousands of people were affected and lakhs of hectares crop has been damaged because of floods. 175 relief camps had been opened for the flood affected people. On August 10 a lorry carrying 30 persons had washed away in a seasonal river water in which only 11 persons had swam to safety and seven had died . Fate of remaining 12 persons was unknown.

Floods Because of incessant rains in Orissa and West Bengal three people had died and many were missing . Situation had become acute as most of the seasonal and small rivers were also rising. It happens every year and hundreds of people die because of floods. Except some of the northers state, all of the remaining states face similar situation every year in which hundreds of people die and property worth billions of rupees get damaged. Though government lefts no stone unturned to help the affected people but a lot should be done to counter the situation. Small dams should be made on all of the rivers so  that  flow of water can be controlled for some time and thus rising water will not bring play a havoc in the rainy season.
