Jubbal-Kotkhai Tragedy: Minister Vows Swift Restoration After Deadly Rains
Education Minister Rohit Thakur today visited the rain-ravaged Jubbal-Kotkhai-Nawar region in Himachal Pradesh, surveying the extensive damage caused by recent torrential downpours. One fatality has been reported.
The minister confirmed significant damage to homes, roads, and vital infrastructure, impacting the lives of numerous residents. His assessment highlighted the urgent need for immediate relief and restoration efforts.
Prioritising the region’s recovery, Mr. Thakur pledged to restore essential services within a week. Road repairs and the resumption of apple procurement, crucial to the region’s economy, are top priorities.
The swift action promised by the minister offers a glimmer of hope to the affected communities. However, the scale of the devastation underscores the vulnerability of the region to extreme weather events and the need for long-term infrastructural improvements to mitigate future risks. The apple harvest, a lifeline for many families, hangs in the balance until road access is fully restored.
