Also on 5th of July cloudburst rocked Kulgam village and it is a serious issue. It, resulted in loss of lives, and damage to roads, bridges, houses and infrastructure. Several people got killed in various parts of Kashmir. It has been reported that in 2026 till date in 36 cloudbursts ,31 people lost their lives and it is a cause of serious and grave concern.

But unfortunately there is moral crisis in  society as we are far from moral values and principles with the result there remains no difference between humans and animals. There...
