The chief minister addressed the loss of life brought on by such fights by saying, “To address the loss of life caused by such conflicts, the government declared it a disaster, ensuring a compensation of 5 lakh for the affected families.”

The chief minister told the audience that the ecosystems of the water and animals are essential to human existence.

He emphasized that the earth is referred to as mother in Indian philosophy, and all living things are seen as her children.

We all coexist as living things, whether a critter is tamed or wild. Human existence is immediately threatened by any catastrophe impacting animals and the ecology, he said.
