Good to see administration working on war footing. But why does it take disasters for officials to show this level of commitment? We need this dedication in normal times too for infrastructure development.

My cousin's family was evacuated from Dharali. They say the relief camps are well-organized with food and medical care. Big salute to the local administration and NDRF teams working tirelessly in difficult conditions.

The Himalayas are becoming increasingly vulnerable to climate change. While relief is important, we need long-term solutions and better disaster preparedness. Uttarakhand can't keep suffering like this every monsoon.

DM Prashant Arya deserves appreciation for being on ground zero. Not many bureaucrats would camp in disaster areas. Hope the electricity restoration continues smoothly - it's crucial for communication and medical services.

As someone who visited Harshil last year, this breaks my heart. The locals there are such warm people. Glad to hear relief is reaching them. How can people from other states contribute to the relief efforts?
