JAMMU, Sept 16: Former Minister and former Member, CWC-AICC, Gulchain Singh Charak has urged upon the State Government to ensure early assessment of loss of lives and properties in every nook and corner of the flood-ravaged State and compensate accordingly.
He urged upon the State and Central Governments to immediately come up with short-term and long-term plans in order to put the life back on track of the people affected due to recent heavy rains and flood fury. He further said that the recent devastating heavy rains have not only caused huge infrastructural damages across the State but also thrown the life out of gear.
Charak was speaking during a series of public meetings at Rakh Arnia, Kool and Ward No 1, Arnia during his tour to Bishnah Constituency. He was accompanied by office bearers of Block Congress Committee Bishnah and prominent people of the concerned areas.
During his tour in these areas, Charak held interactions with the people concerned and heard the various problems and demands raised by them.
He demanded that the houses, property, crops, cattle, agriculture and horticulture loss due to heavy down pour should immediately be assessed at war footing by establishing control rooms at Tehsil level across the State with a clear directive for not leaving even a single residence structure which has been fully or partially damaged. This will certainly help in early assessment and onward disbursement of the compensation to the affected families, he added.
The former Minister also urged upon all the political parties as well as social and religious organizations to join hands for giving impetus to the relief and rehabilitation works across the State.
