Amit Shah Calls for Zero Disaster Deaths as ISRO Warnings Go Unheeded

Union Home Minister Amit Shah has advocated for a goal of zero casualties in natural disasters in India. The call comes in the context of growing disaster risks in the region, highlighted by a devastating mud and ice avalanche at Rasuwa, Nepal. The Nepal disaster killed nearly 1,400 people, underscoring the deadly consequences of inadequate disaster preparedness. ISRO had reportedly issued warnings about such risks years before the tragedy occurred. The incident raises urgent questions about how scientific early warnings are acted upon by governments and disaster management authorities.
