Early Times Report
new delhi, Apr 22: The Parliamentary Standing Committee on Water Resources will be visiting Kashmir next month for first hand assessment of the devastation caused by the September 2014 floods in the State.
This was stated here today by the Member Parliament, Tariq Hameed Karra, who is himself a member of the Committee.
Karra said he had requested the Chairman and the Members of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Water Resources to visit J&K alongwith the Secretaries of the concerned Union Ministries to analyze the reasons and suggest remedial measures for the recurrent flood threat in Kashmir.
"The Chairman has conveyed that the members of the committee would be visiting Kashmir from 18 May 2015 for on-the-spot assessment of the recurrent flood threat in Kashmir and the devastation caused by the September 2014 deluge," he said and added that the flood-affected people of Kashmir are yet to come to terms with the massive losses suffered by them and the recommendations of the Parliamentary panel would go a long way in mitigating their sufferings.
Meanwhile, speaking at a meeting of the Committee here today, Karra sought Government of India's intervention in formulating a comprehensive conservation plan for River Jhelum, Dal and Wullar Lakes on the pattern of Ganga Conservation plan.
He also sought details of the central assistance, if any, for J&K under the Irrigation Management Programme and Flood forecasting programme. |
