Good to see the government supporting all states equally during natural calamities. The northeast often gets neglected, but this shows every state matters. 👍

While the relief funds are appreciated, I hope there's proper monitoring to ensure the money actually reaches the people who need it most. Transparency is crucial in disaster relief.

The deployment of 199 NDRF teams across states shows serious commitment to disaster management. This is how a federal system should work - center and states cooperating during crises.

The numbers are impressive - over 15,000 crore released to states under SDRF. Shows the scale of natural disasters we're facing due to climate change. Need more focus on prevention too.
