JAMMU, Aug 29: Minister for Jal Shakti, Forest, Ecology & Environment, and Tribal Affairs, Javed Ahmed Rana today undertook a comprehensive tour of flood-affected villages in the Jammu region, including Bharmini, Ghura, Sarari, Bathindi, Sunjwan and Chatha, to assess on-ground situation and oversee relief and rehabilitation measures.
\nRajya Sabha MP, Gulam Ali Khatana; senior officers of Jal Shakti Department and other allied departments also accompanied the Minister during the visit.
\nDuring the visit, the Minister emphasized the urgent need to accelerate the pace of restoration efforts and reaffirmed Omar Abdullah Government\u2019s commitment to extend timely assistance to all affected families.
\n\u201cThe least we can do as a Government is to respond with speed and compassion to the needs of those affected by this disaster. Our focus remains on immediate relief, rehabilitation, and restoration of essential services,\u201d he stated.
\nRana visited the relief camp at Dongi Higher Secondary School, where several families displaced from Bharmini village have been temporarily sheltered. He interacted with the affected families to understand their concerns first-hand and reviewed the facilities and arrangements provided at the camp.
\nRecognizing the urgency of safe drinking water for affected communities, the Minister directed the immediate restoration of damaged water supply schemes and called for their completion on a war footing.
\nMeanwhile, he instructed the concerned authorities to deploy water tankers to ensure uninterrupted supply of potable water to all flood-hit areas and relief camps.
\nStressing that no affected household should be left without access to basic necessities, Minister Rana also directed officials to ensure an adequate and timely supply of ration and other essential items, including cooked food where required, to all displaced families. \u201cDaily food distribution must be effectively managed to ensure no one is left behind during this critical period,\u201d he said.
\nRana instructed officers from all relevant departments to conduct regular visits to the affected areas and camps. He emphasized that officials must listen directly to people\u2019s concerns, understand their urgent needs, and monitor ongoing efforts on the ground.
\nThe Minister also visited Chatha village, where several houses and public infrastructure has suffered extensive damage due to the floods. He assured the affected population that the Government is duty-bound to ensure timely relief, effective rehabilitation, and complete restoration of all essential services.
\nRana stressed the importance of interdepartmental coordination and directed officials to adopt a unified and proactive approach to expedite the restoration process.
\n\u201cTimely action and collaboration between departments are critical to bringing normalcy back to the lives of people. Every effort must be made with urgency and sensitivity,\u201d he remarked.<\/p>\n
