Tejasvi Yadav calls for flood‑resilience mission and independent audit of disaster funds

In his communication to Prime Minister Modi, Tejasvi Yadav argues that Bihar’s recurrent floods are not merely a natural phenomenon but also a failure of long‑term disaster management. He urges the Centre to launch a "Flood Resilience Mission" that would address river‑bank protection, drainage improvement, rejuvenation of reservoirs, and the adoption of modern forecasting systems. Yadav also requests an independent audit by the Comptroller and Auditor General of the funds allocated for disaster response, insisting on transparency in the use of contingency reserves.

The RJD leader emphasizes that Bihar’s geographical profile makes a large portion of the state flood‑prone and that a sustainable solution requires regional cooperation with neighboring countries on water management. He concludes by pressing the Prime Minister to treat the situation as a humanitarian duty rather than a political exercise.
