Re: Comparing NYC & Lahore : Rain & Flood
There is always room for improvement. Always. I'd like to imagine that you are probably in a better position to judge how badly India would've been hit if you take the current precautions out of the equation. And unfortunately, in case of Pakistan, we don't have any system (not even quarter of those precautions) in place, except for ample photo ops opportunities for failed showmen like Shahbaz Sharif, who rather do well calculated and often fraudulent 'flood relief' work every year for the cameras, than devise a comprehensive plan to deal to minimise the damages beforehand. Despite having absolute power, time and big budget! As with your don't blame Nawaz Sharif plea, this is his party's seventh consecutive year of governance in Punjab and second or third major flood in last seven years, of course they knew what they were up against. Did he or his party implement a single proposal or rectify the mistakes and criminal negligences pointed out in the committed formed after the 2009 floods?
Now that floods have caused such massive scale devastation, let's see if this Nawaz Sharif proposes any water management policy whatsoever. So far he has hasn't even faintly touched upon this issue in any his thoroughly rehearsed media interactions despite the criticism.
Preparing ahead of time for natural disasters is too much to ask for from our politicians. Its same everywhere in south asia. All we do is rescue, the phrase one stitch on time saves nine is lost on our politicians.
Just few months ago i was in Sri Nagar and saw it in all its glory, it breaks my heart to see the entire city under water while state machinery is sitting on its back side. Only army and private sector is helping out effectively.
Regarding lahore though, since SS is mainly khadim-e-ala of lahore only he should be better prepared. I see photos of laxmi chowk and other areas under water every year, rain is something that happens every year then he should have better prepare for the floods. He got no excuse. Like someone said, you cannot avoid natural disasters, you can just better receive them and for a govt in power for decades they have no one to blame but themselves.

It was a big flood no doubt. To be very frank Punjab government has fared well (so far) in coping with the enormity of the disaster.
