If india had a population of 10 crore or 15 crore these type of news would be very rare

Pass 1 child policy to save india

如果印度人口只有1亿或1.5亿，这类新闻非常罕见。要出台一胎政策来拯救印度

It is not the population control problem its the governance problem. See for china even they don't such incidents because they have strong governance

问题不在于人口控制，而是关乎治理。看看中国，他们没有发生这样的事件，因为他们治理有方

Mighty nature is taking its revenge against continued onslaught by the humans; we will witness more fury unless our attacks on nature are not stopped

强大的大自然正在对人类的持续破坏进行报复

除非我们破坏大自然，否则我们将目睹大自然更多的愤怒

The ground in Mumbai is covered with concrete. So the rainfall does not get absorbed in the soil, creating flooding. The town planners must make it a point to have at least 40 to 50% of any plot unconcreted and able to absorb rain water. All the CHS societies should abide by this rule. Make rainwater harvesting compulsory.

孟买的地面覆盖着混凝土。因此，土壤无法吸收降雨，从而造成洪水。城市规划者必须确保至少有40%到50%的土地没有混凝土，并且能够吸收雨水。所有CHS协会都应遵守这一规则。强制收集雨水。
