Highlighted Comments
Things we used to read in EVS, now we see, how trees are important in preventing Flood. Government should not allow to cut tree especially in hilly areas and constructions should be avoided.
Greedy people destroyed Nature.
Perhaps, River did not damage us but we captured river area ...we damaged mountain in the name of hurriedly done development....now we are facing the results.
Its annoying how nobody pays attention to it. I hope politicians wake up and look up to this existential threat.
We should demand for development society which should encourage environment friendly houses and should frame laws to pass building structure.
