Expressing grief over the property destroyed due to a landslide in Ani, Pratibha Singh expressed her condolences to the affected people and said that this natural disaster has caused a huge loss of life and property in the state. She said that we would have to be alert so that such a loss does not happen in the future. She said that along with development, we also have to worry about environmental protection.
