Why is the Meteorological Department to Blame?
We talk about the weather daily. Sometimes we lament the lack of rain, and other times we complain about the intense heat. Our lips never tire of it. Today, as I left home for the office, I passed through the Expressway. Just a day before, the TLP had announced the end of their sit-in, and today, after several days, I had the privilege of passing through that route. I was pleased that the roads were open, but seeing the state of the green belts made me very sad. Along with the trash bins, some plants were also broken on the green belts. Now, the question arises: do sit-ins and rallies affect our environment and weather or not?
The fact is that whether it is a sit-in or a rally, it has a deep connection with our environment, and the weather is also affected by it. The filth spread due to the sit-ins makes the weather turn against us. We then put all the blame on the meteorological department, saying that just a few days ago, there was a forecast for rain. What a joke that the clouds did not shower today either.
You might be wondering how I linked the TLP’s sit-in to the weather and environment. Let me explain. When you block the main roads for several days for a sit-in, the streets get littered, the green belts are damaged, and the long queues of vehicles on alternative routes present a different scene. On the other hand, trucks and big buses continuously emit smoke, further destroying the environment. However, we do not pay attention, and then the air becomes so polluted that the clouds come and leave without rain. Once again, ignoring everything happening around us, we blame the meteorological department and declare it guilty, issuing non-bailable warrants against it.
The point is that while the terms ‘environment’ and ‘weather’ sound simple, taking care of them requires a lifetime of effort because they are directly related to our lives. Therefore, in my opinion, the government should legislate that any party holding a sit-in should also compensate for the environmental damage caused.
