@Raj Kafir: Why you Indian trolls are always present here???. I hope ET moderators will stop approving such irrelevant comments who even drag Sarcasm in human misery and death and make it a Political Ground for point scoring.
In South Punjab still there are many homeless as Fiefdoms and Wadairas are still prevalent and poor families who are homeless usually make homes near canals and dykes where there is free availability of Land without intervention of land mafias as it is a Government land and unfortunately in every season of monsoon some people got killed because of proximity with these water ways. The long term solution is to provide poor people with land where they can build houses away from Vulnerable regions where Flash flooding is a problem. Also around the world Dams are built to solve problems of flooding and North Punjab have solved this problem with dams and South Punjab have to make more dams to solve this problem.
well that is called world class infrastructure...lol
Blame India.
