It’s disturbing to hear that Cyclone Vardah has left the huge trail of destruction in terms of death, floods, damage to property and disturbance to life in Chennai, India and other areas nearby.
It is always crucial and important to face the nature’s fury beforehand and (here too) precautionary measures had been taken to face Cyclone Vardah – such efforts are appreciable.
Further, the recent instances like whales being left stranded on Tiruchendur Beach in Tuticorin district in Tamil Nadu, India are clear reminders of the consequences of climate change ahead.
In this context, all countries the world over must plan out strong strategies and pump up money to tackle the threats head-on posed by nature apart from safeguarding our earth and environment.
