Feels sad for hp. God awesome natural beauty disturbed by mankind, now leading to such natural havocs.
Nothing will change if the mentality of people and desire of greed and lust in their mind doesn't change, unfortunately we have politicians who are great examples of these things.
Health situation is pretty bad in hill states but it's comparatively good in Tehri.. I said comparatively as Tehri is closest district to Dehradun with good roads, unlike others like Rudraprayag and Uttarkashi.
Go ahead, cut more trees, break mountain slopes, make more money and then complain how this catastrophe happens.
