Jammu Floods: Policy Failures, Not Natural Disasters
Imagine Jammu got hit with a lot of rain, like a super soaker!
But instead of it being a simple storm, it caused flooding because of problems.
The government had a plan to manage water and protect the city, but they didn't follow it.
They also built some projects that made things worse.
Environmental experts warned that these projects could cause flooding, but they were still built.
So, the flooding shows that the real problem wasn't just the rain; it was the government's actions and inaction.
Flooding in Jammu resulted from heavy rainfall.
The Local Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (LBSAP) was not implemented.
Multiple government departments failed to execute the LBSAP.
Unscientific projects in Jammu & Kashmir were implemented despite warnings.
Environmentalists pointed out flaws in the Tawi Riverfront development.
