Dehradun (Uttarakhand) [India], July 10 (ANI): Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Thursday directed all the District Magistrates to respond quickly to the disaster incidents.
Under these instructions, District Magistrate Savin Basnal reached the village of Batoli in Misral Patti, a district cut off from communication, to first meet the local residents. The administration assured the villagers of all possible help on the spot.
At the same time, the villagers ' demand proposals were approved on the spot.
The District Magistrate measured the difficult footpath and came face-to-face with the problems faced by women, elderly children, and locals of Batoli, and resolved them.
Meanwhile, the district administration prepared the road overnight and reached the villagers through Sheru Khala, which had turned into a ditched mound due to heavy rains, a task that would have taken months to complete.
The District Magistrate stated that it is the responsibility of the administration to minimise disasters, trouble, and any untoward incidents, and the administration is committed to fulfilling this responsibility.
The District Magistrate also handed over an advance cheque of Rs 3.84 lakh for the rent of all the families on the spot, in which Rs 4,000 per family per month has been allocated to all families to ensure they live in a safe place.
The District Magistrate directed that manpower and machinery be deployed in the area 24/7 for road repair for the entire three months of the rainy season.
Furthermore, he also directed the Tehsildar of Vikasnagar to establish a camp in the area to address the local residents' problems.
The District Magistrate directed the officers to identify a suitable location for a temporary helipad with the assistance of the villagers in the area, so that a temporary helipad could be constructed in the village within 15 days.
He also directed the SDM, Vikasnagar, to ensure that ANMs visit regularly for the health check-ups of pregnant mothers and infants. (ANI)
