While we celebrate mountaineering achievements, I hope CM Dhami also focuses on improving infrastructure in disaster-prone areas. The 1 crore donation is good but systematic prevention is needed.

Good to see CM balancing both celebration and relief work. But hope the rehabilitation material reaches actual beneficiaries - we've seen corruption in disaster funds before.
