Sir,
Refer news item ‘Centre rejects J&K Govt proposal for Special package to quake victims’ DE July 17. The rejection of J&K Govt proposal for special package to earthquake victims by the Central Government should not stop the State Government from extending relief to people of this region.
Rather Government should harness all possible measures within its domain to ensure that quake-hit victims do not suffer more. Besides, formulating a strategy to extend helping hand should not take more time. If any assistance is not extended at the earliest possible time frame, then providing the same at a later stage is of no purpose.
The people in this region have suffered extensively. Schools have collapsed, cracks have appeared on houses, many lost their lives. Tragedy of such nature cannot be ignored. It has to be tackled earnestly and quickly.
Therefore, the State Government should explore all possible means to extend a helping hand to these people at the earliest.
Yours etc….
