Nature's fury is indeed increasing every year. We need better early warning systems and climate-resilient infrastructure. Prayers for all those affected in Jammu, Himachal, and Uttarakhand 🙏

While the PM's condolences are appreciated, I wonder about the timing - expressing grief about natural disasters while simultaneously inaugurating projects worth thousands of crores feels a bit disconnected. Priorities?

These cloudbursts are becoming more frequent due to climate change. We need to take environmental conservation seriously. Hope the relief reaches all affected people quickly.

The hill states need special attention during monsoons. Our disaster response teams are doing great work but they need more resources and training. Jai Hind!
