While I appreciate the visit, we need permanent solutions for flood management. Every year same story - floods, relief, then forget until next monsoon. Infrastructure needs serious attention.

The AIIMS medical team deployment is a good step. Health concerns after floods are serious - waterborne diseases can create another crisis. Hope they have enough supplies and manpower.

The numbers from different districts show how widespread the damage is. Hope the compensation reaches all affected families without bureaucratic delays. Time for action, not just announcements.
