Despite the weather department’s warning, the UP government did not make any arrangements

Uttar Pradesh:
In Uttar Pradesh, despite the warning issued by the Meteorological Department, the mischievous government has ignored it and is busy praising itself. The price of which was paid by losing the lives of 58 people. If the government had acted on the warning issued by the Meteorological Department, so many lives would not have been lost. The government is requested to understand the value of human lives and alert the machinery in time and put it to work so that so many innocent lives are not lost in future.
