“Where there is a disaster, there is definitely negligence, unpreparedness; where there is negligence, unpreparedness, there is crime, and where there is crime, there is also the culprit!”
Mehmet Murat ildan

Krupa Ge
“Everyone in the city remembers the day the floodwater drained out, differently. Some were relieved, some were still in shock, some continued to look for loved ones, while others came home
to devastation. But for almost all of us it was heartbreak. The city wore its defeat for days and nights on end. For a week after the floods, on the footpaths outside most homes were stinking piles
of mattresses, pillows, quilts, cushions, straw mats, bedsheets and swollen rotting wood and food grains, and cars left open, even as the sun came down hard on us, making a mockery of it all.”
Krupa Ge, Rivers Remember: The Shocking Truth of a Manmade Flood
