BNN's Perspective:

The varied weather patterns across India highlight the complexities of climate change and the need for preparedness. While the IMD's alerts are crucial for public safety, it's also important to acknowledge the economic impact of extreme weather events on agriculture and infrastructure. A balanced approach that combines proactive measures with long-term climate resilience strategies is essential.
