Why are so many states facing floods simultaneously? Climate change is real and we need better disaster management planning across all states. Aerial surveys are good but ground action matters more.

Chitrakote waterfall area is so beautiful but dangerous during floods. Tourists should be warned properly. Hope local residents get adequate compensation for their losses.

Appreciate that CMs across party lines are taking flood management seriously. Yogi Adityanath's focus on cattle feed and medical supplies shows comprehensive thinking. Disaster doesn't care about politics!

Hope the administration follows through on all these promises. Often we see big announcements during crises but implementation falters. Regular updates on relief work would be helpful.

The mention of anti-snake venom is crucial! Floods bring snakes into homes and many rural areas don't have immediate medical access. Smart thinking by UP government 👏
