Highlighted Comments
I am a resident of Mandi district of Himachal Pradesh. The biggest reason for all these landslides here is unnecessary roads, cutting of trees and repeated cutting of mountains.
Heartbreaking to see the impact of these deadly monsoon floods. Prayers for everyone affected in India, Pakistan, and China—hoping for safety and a swift recovery for all.
This is the outcome of what we did to nature.
Our state government and also centre government is not doing anything in favour of the people affected by this disaster.
Development karo aisaa kee desh bhi bache aur Jaan bhi bache.
