My cousin lives in Shi Yomi district. She said the Army reached within 30 minutes when local authorities were still organizing. We take our soldiers for granted until emergencies strike.

As someone working in disaster management, I must say the Army's coordination was textbook perfect. But we also need better fire safety infrastructure in these remote towns.

While we celebrate the Army's efforts, shouldn't local administrations be better prepared? What if the Army wasn't stationed nearby? Questions we must ask.

The unsung heroes of India! While working in Arunachal last year, I saw firsthand how the Army bridges gaps where civilian infrastructure is lacking. Respect!
