Root cause in my opinion is discipline. Before the shit hit the fan, I saw tons of videos of people partying in Goa like crazy. Our prayers are with the Indian people. Hang in there.

A month ago Palki was so proud when she spoke of how well India was doing and I was filled with such hope for the world. Now we are all so sad and feel so helpless outside of India. All we can do is pray🙏🏽

I like how she doesn't support/attack any particular party but all of them😂

[dishamukherjee]

Simple no discipline and over population.... trust me still people won't think this the root😐

[nicktampoy]

Don't quit, India. Our prayers are with you.

[DhavalShukla]

I'm glad Palki was truthful to report failure of both states and Central government. That's how reporting should be. Clean and with facts. There were obvious signs, concerns and yet the overconfidence runs deep in our system against something so unpredictable and deadly.

Thanks to the whole world. Everyone of you for your support.

We are only the responsible for this situation! We should take this as lesson.

Sense of Normalcy by Citizens so they stopped following the protocols for COVID and Ignorant Attitude towards a pandemic by the govt. as they thought it's gonna pass in few months.

[lorenaarias]

All of that is absolutely true, however, the fact that so many people went out to celebrate your holiday without masks nor social distancing made things even worse. We can’t always blame the government for people stubbornness in refusing to obey simple rules that can definitely help avoid getting contaminated with this terrible, deadly virus.

You made it very very clear, even without experts on each fields talking and explaining for an hour, and made the topic more complicated. Your the best news presenter ever ❤️❤️❤️🇵🇭!

[Veryciccio]

Love and prayers to India from Australia. May selfless international cooperation and solidarity resolve this soon.

[callisto]

My grandmother was Indian and altough i've never visited your country i'm deeply disturbed and emotional of what is going on over there, my country was one of the first hit in the western world and we suffered lots of deaths and pain but the images that i see from India are something i couldn't even dream in my wildest nightmares, hearth wrenching, but i also wonder why the government alllowed elections and mass gatherings during a worldwide pandemic.... god bless you all stay safe and we shall beat this scourge from China soon, warm regards from Rome Italy.
