[swarnalathasubramaniam]

The govt needs to think about why the landslides have increased in the last decade or so.The consequence of deforestation and ruthless commercialization of the natural world !

[nandithprakash]

Its heartening to see people comment on politics and politicians even on the grounds of natural disasters. I get your point, but you should also think about the lives lost and the sorrow of their loved ones. In the face of disasters, humans are to be united. And yet here we are, spouting nonsense

If asked to apply positivity to the situation, the infra businessmen may make hay out of these landslides to make better plain road based infra techs. I have a feeling it is God's way of helping the infrastructure businessmen. It is for future. At least I was supposed to be getting tortured for their future so I can tell these also are for their future. 🎉🎉
