Dehradun News, September 12: Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced a ₹1200 crore relief plan while visiting flood-hit Uttarakhand on Thursday. The money will help with rescue, recovery, and rebuilding infrastructure. The news came after a meeting in Dehradun with Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami and other top officials to go over everything in detail.
Promise from PM Modi to Uttarakhand
PM Modi said that the Union Government is fully behind the people of Uttarakhand during this very bad time. He promised that money would be sent right away to help families who were hurt by the floods and to fix up roads, bridges, and other damaged infrastructure. The plan also includes ways to make disaster management stronger and take steps to stop future disasters from happening.
CM Dhami Shows Appreciation
Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, who was clearly upset, thanked the Prime Minister for his quick and kind help. On the social media site X, Dhami shared his thoughts:
“Respected Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi Ji has announced an immediate relief package of Rs. 1200 crore for the flood-affected Uttarakhand.”
I want to thank him from the bottom of my heart on behalf of the 1.5 crore people who live in this state.
Huge damage from floods across the state
Recent floods and heavy rain have caused a lot of damage in Uttarakhand. They have damaged homes and farmland and cut off access to many hilly areas. Rescue teams, the NDRF, the SDRF, and the Army have been sent all over the state to help right away and get people who are stuck out of the way.
Getting relief and rebuilding done first
The ₹1200 crore package will be used in several steps, including short-term aid, helping families who have been forced to move, and long-term rebuilding of important infrastructure. PM Modi made it clear that the national government and the state governments will work together to get things back to normal as soon as possible.
Families who have been suffering from losing their homes and ways to make a living have newfound hope after hearing this news. The aid plan should speed up the recovery process and make Uttarakhand more resistant to disasters in the years to come.
