JAMMU, Aug 5 : To review the measures undertaken by the administration in the wake of worsening flood situation, Deputy Chief Minister Tara Chand took an extensive tour of Khour and adjoining far flung areas.
While responding swiftly to the information about rising water levels due to continuous rainfall, Tara Chand late yesterday evening along with a high official team of district administration rushed to the site and had a firsthand inspection of the prevailing situation.
District Development Commissioner Sanjeev Verma, SSP Parbhat Singh, Chief Engineer, I&FC Ashwani Sharma, SDM, Akhnoor Nagendra Singh, engineers and officers from revenue, block development and other concerned departments accompanied during the tour.
The Deputy Chief Minister visited Datyal, Dhanpur, Indri, Hamirpur, Sidhar, Pangali, Bakore and other low lying areas.
At these places extensive damage to agriculture land, houses and other civil structures has been done due to rains.
Interacting with the people at different locations, Tara Chand inquired about the prevailing situation and assured them of all required help by the administration. He directed the SDM to depute revenue officials to assess the loss and prepare cases for compensation.
Instructions were issued to the flood control engineers for remaining present at the site round the clock and ensure that all works are done on high priority, so as to restrict the damage to the minimum and make sure that people do not suffer due to non availability of required men and machinery.
The Deputy Chief Minister directed the DDC to ensure that proper arrangements are made for regular power supply to the affected areas and where ever required alternate arrangements are also put in place for carrying out the rescue and relief operations.
He instructed Police and Civil administration to be fully prepared for emergency and should be ready with all the necessary supplies and equipment like tents, medicines etc, so as to shift people from low lying areas to safer places within a short notice, adding that temporary rehabilitation facilities should also be made ready. |
