People should be made safe taking the utmost responsibility this time.People should be helped evacuated since all are not strong and educated. They should be made aware and be given fullest support.Sorrowful history should not be allowed to be repeated at every cost.

Isn't it possible to use this water for a purpose or to divert to reservoirs?
