God please save at least who are alive, pls give strength to all the deceased family; let the respective Governments, including the central government, immediately help all the families with compensation and all facilities should be provided. God bless all of them.
This is what happens when cops cut the ganja fields. Soil erosion. Landslides.
We need deep-rooted plants and trees to have a natural barrier against landslides.
Stop going to any mountainous areas from July to October when rain is the heaviest. It keeps happening every year, 500 times a year, yet people don’t seem to learn.
