BJP leaders commended them for their prompt action and effectiveness in dealing with the flood-like situation in the area, ensuring no loss of lives.
With regard to Chowdhary Zulfikar’s call for immediate assessment of the losses, the Deputy Commissioner assured that all necessary efforts would be made to address the situation, and the administration had already circulated a telephone number for people to register complaints.
Former minister also highlighted various issues pertaining to the Rural Development Department, where houses constructed under PMAY were damaged or washed away during this rainy season.
