The purpose of the visit is to assess the damage caused by heavy rains and floods and to meet the affected people. Expressing his concern for the people of Himachal Pradesh, Anurag Thakur stated, “Devbhoomi Himachal is currently facing a natural calamity. Many areas have been disrupted due to heavy rains and floods, resulting in loss of life and property. My thoughts are with the people of Devbhoomi during this challenging time. During my visit to the Hamirpur parliamentary constituency on July 14, 15 and 16, I will visit the flood-affected areas, meet the affected individuals, and share their pain. I will also strive to ensure that all possible assistance is provided by the government. The Central government is closely monitoring the situation in Himachal, and the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) has deployed 12 teams to conduct round-the-clock relief and rescue operations in collaboration with local authorities.”
