Very sad to hear about these tragedies. The lightning incidents in UP are becoming more frequent - government should invest in better early warning systems. CM Yogi's quick response is appreciated though. 🙏

Heartbreaking news from all fronts. The canal accident shows we need more public awareness about water safety, especially during monsoon. Hope the relief reaches affected families quickly.

While CM's response is good, prevention is better than reaction. Why aren't there lightning arresters in vulnerable areas? And that plane crash - we need stricter aviation safety checks. So many lives lost!

The relief amount mentioned should be increased considering today's inflation. Rs 4 lakh doesn't go far when you lose your family's breadwinner. Government needs to revise compensation policies.
