Assam Floods: 10 More Deaths In 24 Hours; Over 6 Lakh People Affected

The mainstream coverage of the Assam floods is a prime example of how governments and media outlets prioritize short-term crisis management over long-term solutions.

By focusing solely on the immediate human impact of the floods, the dominant narrative overlooks the systemic issues that contributed to this disaster. The government's response, while well-intentioned, is inadequate in addressing the root causes of the problem. The media's silence on these critical aspects suggests a lack of accountability and a prioritization of sensationalism over substance.
