Modi Assures Himachal Pradesh Aid After Thakur’s Disaster Plea
Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur on Monday urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi for a special relief package to aid regions ravaged by recent floods and cloudbursts. The state has suffered immense damage.
Thakur’s appeal specifically highlighted the plight of those displaced in Seraj, Karsog, and Nachan. He requested amendments to the Forest Conservation Act to facilitate land allocation for rehabilitation efforts.
The Prime Minister assured the Chief Minister of full support in addressing the crisis and rebuilding the affected areas. Specific details of the aid package are expected soon.
This intervention is crucial for Himachal Pradesh’s recovery, particularly for the thousands left homeless and without livelihoods. The timely relaxation of the Forest Conservation Act is vital for swift resettlement and rebuilding of infrastructure in the devastated regions.
