Chief Minister Pathankot left for Bharmour from Air Force Station, but his helicopter could not land there due to bad weather.

The scale of destruction is more
In Chamba, the Chief Minister said that due to the precautionary steps taken by the present state government on time, the loss of public life has been reduced compared to the year 2023, but this time the measure of destruction is much more.

Roads, electricity, water supply and communication services have been affected more than 2023. The state government has a major challenge to rehabilitate people, which we will cross with the help of the people of the state. He said that the state government will provide special relief package for the rehabilitation of every family affected by the disaster.

Revenue Minister Jagat Singh Negi set out for Bharmour
The Chief Minister said that Assembly Speaker Kuldeep Singh Pathania, Revenue Minister Jagat Singh Negi and Public Works Minister Vikramaditya Singh are constantly monitoring the situation at the ground level. The government is committed to provide all possible relief to the disaster affected and the contact facility in the Chamba-Bhrama route is committed to bring people trapped at various places safely home.

He informed that Revenue Minister Jagat Singh Negi has left for Bharmour on foot from Chamba. This shows that the state government is facing this crisis with sensitivity, adopting a human view.

Will airlif people in favorable conditions
CM Sukhu said that the state government is working fast to restore road connectivity. For this, Poklen, JCB and other heavy machinery have been deployed. The district administration has been instructed to restore road connectivity as soon as possible. However, bad weather is obstructing relief and restoration operations.

The state government has deployed helicopters for the successful return of people trapped in Bharmour region, which will airlift people in case of favorable weather conditions.

Manimahesh Yatra postponed due to weather
Criticizing the BJP leaders, the Chief Minister said that they are spreading rumors instead of helping the affected people. The BJP is demanding the postponement of the monsoon session of the assembly, while in 2023 the same party was demanding to increase the assembly session.

The decision to postpone the Manimahesh Yatra has been taken in view of the current weather conditions, but some people are also doing politics on this. He said that Himachal Pradesh is Devbhoomi. We have full faith in our Dev Yatras and Manimahesh Yatra, but it is unfortunate for BJP leaders to do politics on it.
