Srinagar : Every monsoon, Jammu & Kashmir launches its grand, world-class flood mitigation circus. Forget state-of-the-art drainage networks or high-tech dredging; our authorities prefer the timeless, artisanal charm of panic-buying thousands of sandbags minutes before the cloudburst. Watching engineers stare at a surging Jhelum with clipboard-induced optimism is truly an Olympic-level sport.
Year after year, masterplans are drafted, committees are formed, and funds magically evaporate faster than floodwaters ever could. Yet, there’s a silver lining to this amphibious bureaucracy! If the current pace of structural planning continues, Srinagar will naturally transform into the Venice of the East without spending a single rupee on actual infrastructure. Residents are already practicing their gondola serenades for the commute to work.
So, standard procedure remains flawless: deploy sandbags, blame global climate trends, pray fervently for dry weather, and declare absolute victory once the mud dries up. Rest assured, folks, your flood management is in hands so relaxed they barely hold the shovel!
