23 Jul 2024 CW Team

Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu has requested ?1.72 billion from the central government to repair roads damaged by recent floods in the state. The devastating floods have severely impacted infrastructure, leaving many roads in disrepair and hindering transportation and recovery efforts.

The request is part of a larger appeal to address the extensive damage caused by the floods, which have disrupted daily life and affected economic activities in several districts. The funds are intended to support the reconstruction of key roadways and ensure that vital transport links are restored promptly.

The floods, which occurred earlier this year, have caused significant damage to the state?s road network, impacting both urban and rural areas. The Chief Minister emphasised the urgent need for financial assistance to expedite repair work and prevent further complications.

In addition to road repairs, the state government is also seeking support for other recovery efforts, including infrastructure rehabilitation and disaster relief operations. The central government?s response will be crucial in facilitating a swift and effective recovery process.

Sukhu?s appeal underscores the severity of the situation and the critical need for immediate financial support to rebuild and repair the flood-damaged infrastructure. Restoring the state?s road network is essential for reestablishing normalcy and ensuring continued economic and social stability.

The request for ?1.72 billion highlights the ongoing challenges faced by Himachal Pradesh in the aftermath of the floods and the state's commitment to addressing these challenges with the necessary resources and support.
