Dialogue Between Two Friends on Visiting Flood Affected Area
Sultan: Hello Raju! How are you?
Raju: I am so so. What about you?
Sultan: I am fine. But what is the problem? What are you thinking of?
Raju: I am thinking of the untold miseries of the flood affected people in our area.
Sultan: Oh, I see! The over-flowing water has really caused untold miseries. Villages after villages have been submerged.
Raju: You might have noticed that a vast tract of land looks like a sheet of water. People had to desert the villages. Thousands are already rendered homeless.
Sultan: Yes, they have been shifted to emergency flood-centers. Relief materials are scanty. Some of them have already died.
Raju: It is terribly shocking. The condition of domestic animals beggar description. They do not have flood-shelters and relief camps.
Sultan: Yes, I have seen many corpses and carcasses flowing down the streams of water. There is another negative effect of it. They are seriously polluting water.
Raju: Exactly! Besides, the stench that comes out of them is very harmful to the environment. Diseases have started breaking out.
Sultan: Yes, the incidence of cholera, diarrhea, typhoid, fever and flu has greatly increased recently. Medical facilities are quite inadequate to combat the battle.
Raju: Exactly, this water has worked out a ghastly havoc. A lot of houses have toppled down, and household properties have been washed away.
Sultan: Besides, standing crops have been destroyed. People have a black and blank future.
Raju: Exactly! I can't understand what they would get to do even if they can return home safe after flood. I can no more think. Let's go to the relief camp and work as volunteers.
Sultan: Excellent idea! Let's join and do our mite to relieve the distress of the people. Thank you for such a nice decision.
Raju: You are most welcome.
