While I appreciate the Governor's efforts, I wonder why state and central governments can't work together more effectively on these issues. The political blame game needs to stop when people's safety is at stake.

Permanent CAPF camps might be necessary for now, but we should focus on long-term solutions too. Community dialogues and education programs could help prevent such incidents in future.
