Conveying his condolences to the bereaved family members, the Chief Minister said that the state government stands firmly with them in this hour of grief. He directed the district administration to provide all possible assistance to the bereaved family members.
He prayed to the Almighty to grant peace to the departed souls and strength to the bereaved family members to bear this irreparable loss.
The Chief Minister also took stock of the situation arising from a flash flood in Mohalla Sultanpur of Chamba, triggered by heavy rains today. The incident damaged two pucca houses, 26 residential houses, and one shop. He directed the district administration to provide immediate assistance to the affected families.
