Dialogue Between Two Friends on Visiting Flood
Affected Area
Zafi: Hello Zarif!
How are you?
Zarif: I am so
so. What about you?
Zafi: I am
fine. But what is the problem? What are you thinking of?
Zarif: I am
thinking of the untold miseries of the flood affected people in our area.
Zafi: Oh, I
see! The over-flowing water has really caused untold miseries. Villages after
villages have been submerged.
Zarif: 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.
Zafi: Yes,
they have been shifted to emergency flood-centers. Relief materials are scanty.
Some of them have already died.
Zarif: It is
terribly shocking. The condition of domestic animals beggar description. They
do not have flood-shelters and relief camps.
Zafi: 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.
Zarif: Exactly!
Besides, the stench that comes out of them is very harmful to the environment. Diseases
have started breaking out.
Zafi: Yes, the
incidence of cholera, diarrhea, typhoid, fever and flu has greatly increased
recently. Medical facilities are quite inadequate to combat the battle.
Zarif: Exactly,
this water has worked out a ghastly havoc. A lot of houses have toppled down,
and household properties have been washed away.
Zafi: Besides,
standing crops have been destroyed. People have a black and blank future.
Zarif: 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.
Zafi: Excellent
idea! Let's join and do our mite to relieve the distress of the people. Thank
you for such a nice decision.
Zarif: You are
most welcome.
