He emphasized that during the <strong>night of June 30<\/strong>, <strong>42 lives were lost<\/strong> in the Seraj, Karsog, and Nachan regions \u2014 with <strong>29 deaths reported from Seraj<\/strong> alone. More than <strong>500 homes were completely washed away<\/strong>, and over <strong>1,000 houses have been rendered uninhabitable<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Thakur urged the Prime Minister to provide an <strong>area-specific relief and rehabilitation package<\/strong>, tailored to the unique needs of the most severely affected regions. He also requested <strong>relaxation under the Forest Conservation Act<\/strong>, citing the urgent need to <strong>resettle displaced families<\/strong> who have not only lost their homes but also the land they once lived on.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople have no land left to rebuild. We have requested the Centre to allow land allocation in forest areas so victims can be resettled in safe zones,\u201d Thakur stated. He also appealed for a <strong>scientific study into the recurring natural disasters<\/strong> in the state to understand their causes and mitigate future risks.<\/p>\n<p>The Prime Minister reportedly listened attentively, assured full cooperation for <strong>reconstruction and rehabilitation<\/strong>, and promised that the <strong>Central Government will extend all possible help<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Thakur expressed gratitude to the Prime Minister for the support provided during the immediate relief and rescue operations and hoped for prompt action on his requests.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former CM Jairam Thakur Meets PM Modi, Seeks Area-Specific Relief Package for Himachal Disaster Victims.\u00a0 &nbsp;
