During the COVID-19 pandemic, the entire world found itself confined within four walls. People lived in fear, uncertain about how they would survive the next day. In that difficult period, the government extended support to every family holding a ration card, providing assistance without requiring anyone to seek help from others.

There was no shortage of thought about helping those in distress at that time. Meteorologists warned about the impending El Niño threat a year in advance. People are hoping that conditions similar to the pandemic era will not recur by October 18, 2026.
