CM Sukhu Urges BJP MPs to Facilitate Forest Land Clearance for Rehabilitation of Disaster-Hit Families in Himachal.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

Shimla:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister \u00a0Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu<\/strong> made a passionate appeal to BJP MPs from the state to actively help secure Union Government approval for the rehabilitation of disaster-affected families on forest land<\/strong>, as he toured the severely impacted Seraj Assembly constituency<\/strong> in Mandi district<\/strong> on today.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

During his visit to the Bagsiad relief camp<\/strong>, CM Sukhu inspected the arrangements made for displaced residents and interacted with the affected families. The victims, who lost their homes due to cloudbursts and torrential rains<\/strong>, expressed satisfaction over the camp facilities but urged the government to accelerate their permanent rehabilitation<\/strong>, citing uninhabitable or completely destroyed homes.<\/p>\n

Assuring the affected people of the government\u2019s full support, the Chief Minister said, \u201cThe state government is fully committed to your rehabilitation. We will provide land to those who have lost everything\u2014wherever feasible. But since 68% of Himachal is forest land, we need the Centre\u2019s permission to rehabilitate you on that land. I urge BJP MPs from Himachal to help in getting this critical clearance.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

He further emphasized, \u201cThis is not a time for politics. This is the time to stand united for the people.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Relief Announcements and Rehabilitation Measures<\/h3>\n

The Chief Minister announced a compensation of Rs. 7 lakh<\/strong> for rebuilding fully damaged homes and assured that losses to shops, cowsheds, and livestock<\/strong> would also be fully compensated. He acknowledged the hardship of building a home in hilly regions like Himachal and said the government would leave no stone unturned<\/strong> to help affected citizens restart their lives.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

While addressing the media, CM Sukhu detailed the ongoing rescue and relief efforts<\/strong>, reporting:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • 290 people rescued<\/strong> so far<\/li>\n
  • 15 fatalities<\/strong> and 27 still missing<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Damage to 1,184 houses<\/strong>, 710 cow sheds<\/strong>, and 201 shops<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Death of 780 livestock animals<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Deployment of 177 police personnel<\/strong> in the worst-affected subdivisions (Thunag, Karsog, Gohar)<\/li>\n
  • Distribution of over 3,000 ration kits<\/strong> and 4,000 tarpaulins<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Establishment of 17 relief camps<\/strong> housing 677 displaced persons<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The Chief Minister visited various villages including Bagsiad, Thunag, Thunadi, Lambathach, Jarol, Pandavshila, Kuthah<\/strong>, and Janjheli<\/strong>, listening to the concerns of locals and personally monitoring the relief operations.<\/p>\n

    No Tolerance for Misinformation or Politicization<\/h3>\n

    CM Sukhu warned against attempts to spread misinformation or politicize the disaster<\/strong>, stating, \u201cSome individuals are playing dirty politics even in times of tragedy. But we are focused on action. Relief materials were air-dropped in Rain Galu via helicopter, and Deputy CM Mukesh Agnihotri and PWD Minister Vikramaditya Singh have also visited these areas.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    He stressed that restoring road connectivity<\/strong> remains a top priority, and nearly 50 JCBs and other heavy machines<\/strong> have been deployed for road clearance. \u201cRelief delivery is difficult unless roads are reopened,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

    Political Cooperation Acknowledged<\/h3>\n

    In a show of non-partisan cooperation, CM Sukhu revealed that he has been in regular contact with Leader of Opposition Jai Ram Thakur<\/strong>, who has also been making use of IAF helicopters<\/strong> arranged by the state for rescue missions. \u201cThis is not the time for blame games. It\u2019s time to help people,\u201d<\/em> he said.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    The Chief Minister lauded the Mandi district administration<\/strong> for its tireless efforts and urged continued coordination among all stakeholders to restore normalcy and rebuild lives<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    Also present during the visit were APMC Chairman Sanjeev Guleria<\/strong>, Congress leaders Vijay Pal Singh,\u00a0Jagdish Reddy<\/strong>, Jeevan Thakur<\/strong>, and Naresh Chauhan<\/strong>, along with Deputy Commissioner Apoorv Devgan<\/strong>, SP Sakshi Verma<\/strong>, and other senior officials.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    The visit underlined the Himachal Government\u2019s message of compassion, urgency, and unity<\/strong> in responding to natural disasters\u2014and its strong call to the Centre for supportive action.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
