Last week, India saw the early arrival of Monsoons much ahead of
their normal schedule. This arrival of monsoons surprised many weather experts
and people. Overall, it is believed that early monsoons will bring more
prosperity to India by increasing the production of crops. However, at present
early monsoons are causing trouble to millions of people in different parts of
India.
In a number of places, flood-like situations are prevailing with thousands
of people stuck at unsafe places. Indian hilly state of Uttrakhand is worst hit
by early monsoon. Thousands of devotees and tourists are locked in remote
places due to landslides and heavy rain. Now government and army have come into
action to save these people. Already there are reports of 105 causalities and
200 plus missing people.
These numbers are likely to increase as cloudbursts
have taken at many places and reports are still to come from many of these
places. Famous Hindu religious place Kedarnath is worst hit with only the temple
surviving this devastation. At present, we can only pray for the safety of
people trapped in different places. Hopefully, soon the situation will become
normal.
