Dear Editor
Floods in the Kashmir valley have claimed the lives of hundreds of people and caused misery to lakhs. The regions of Jammu and Kashmir in India and Pakistan Occupied Kashmir, Gilgit-Baltistan and Punjab in Pakistan have been affected by the floods. Some cities and villages have been completely submerged. The Indian Army has the task to provide relief. The Prime Minister has offered financial assistance to the state.
It is the duty of everyone to come forward to reduce the misery of the flood-hit, but no one is analysing why these disasters occur? Why do we forget that disasters are the result of our deeds against nature and mankind. When will we mend our ways and learn lesson from these disasters?
