Things have been worse this year as compared to previous years. Nobody can do much when it's so devastating and you cannot prepare for these things in advance.

Yes, every rainy seasons we have such natural disasters. You didn't mention about the cloud bursting in Kedarnath where lots of pilgrims are stuck. Rescue operations are going on but many people are missing and I don't think they would be alive now.

How does it happen that these disasters happen and the national meteorological agency doesn't issue warnings ahead of time for residents to leave those locations? It is gross irresponsibility on the part of the government to have casualties because of natural disasters.
