“KING: 'The year of 2017 is becoming a year of floods. Starting from Gujarat to Assam, 
due to heavy rainfall, several areas got flooded with river waters. Even in South India, 
we have witnessed flood like situation.' HERMIT:'When the meteorological 
department gave a prediction of a good monsoon season this year, then why the 
administrative bodies of some areas failed to take some measures to ensure that 
the drainage system will be effective enough to pass out the flooded waters into 
the sea as quickly as possible. Time has come to construct some more dams to 
utilize the monsoon rainfall for hydro power generation and to create smart 
drainage systems for all smart cities.'"- Arindam Sain
