| Provide immediate relief to affected people: Sukhnandan | |
Jammu, July 26 (Scoop News) - The government should press into service all the means and work round the clock to mitigate the sufferings of the people who have been hit by recent cloudburst and flash floods in Marh assembly constituency and adjoining constituencies. This was demanded by BJP MLA from Marh assembly constituency Sukhnandan Kumar while addressing media persons at party headquarters on Saturday alongwith the BJP State Press Secretary Balbir Ram Rattan.
Sukhnandan Kumar, who is continuously in touch with the people of his constituency for the last three days and visiting every affected village, said that this natural calamity has badly damaged the houses, poultry farms, pig farm, godowns and caused causalities to buffaloes, cows, pigs and standing crops. Many houses and shops have been totally damaged and the household items got perished. A goushalla building in Datryal village too has got damaged. There is an atmosphere of grief and the people need a sympathetic help.
Sukhnandan Kumar said that villages namely Datryal, Halqa, Marh, Chaffrechak, Kuntwala, Ghura Singu, Taruchak, Rathwa and many more have been very badly hit. Although what has happened cannot be reversed but the government should utilize all the possible means to reach every affected family with relief and compensation. He said that although it may take few days to assess the accurate losses but some immediate relief should be provided to affected families adding that just rupees 1500 from Red Cross has been provided to few families, which is just a cruel joke. He said that had such incident been held in Kashmir, there would have been flood of relief material and one compensation after the other.
The MLA said that special teams should be constituted under some senior officers of the revenue department with directions to remain camped in the affected villages till normal life do not start again. He said that the villages where school buildings have been damaged, alternate arrangements should be made so that the studies of school going children do not suffer.
Sukhnandan Kumar also appealed the government to depute teams of health department in the affected villages to provide help and ensure that epidemic like situation do not rise. PHE and PDD should also work on war footing to restore water and electricity supplies in affected areas. He assured the people that being their representative I am with them and would make best possible efforts to ensure that relief is provided to them and their cases of compensation are prepared and processed in shortest time.
