Uttarakhand Floods: CM Pushkar Singh Dhami Inspects Damage in Dehradun, Pledges Quick Relief

The relentless rains have damaged roads, bridges, and government buildings across Uttarakhand. Daily life for many residents has turned upside down due to these floods and landslides.

State and district officials are working non-stop in the field. All departments team up for relief, rescue, and rehab efforts. With river levels rising, Dhami stressed extra caution to handle any new disasters. He keeps a close watch from the State Emergency Operations Centre, stays in touch with district heads, and wants every affected person’s issues fixed on priority.

Earlier today, Prime Minister Narendra Modi called Dhami to get the latest on the heavy rainfall crisis in Uttarakhand. Union Home Minister Amit Shah also spoke with the chief minister, as per the Chief Minister’s Office. Dhami shared details about the widespread damage to homes, government properties, and livelihoods.

Both PM Modi and Amit Shah assured Uttarakhand of all possible central help. They said the Central Government stands strong with the state during this emergency. Dhami thanked them warmly, noting their guidance will boost the relief drive. He added that the administration is in full action mode in flood-affected zones, running rescue ops like a war effort.

Local MLAs and top officials joined Dhami during his on-site inspection in Dehradun. He ordered quick delivery of relief materials, safe shelters, food, water, and medical aid so no family suffers. "The state government is with every affected family," Dhami said. "Our teams, including NDRF, SDRF, police, and local authorities, are on high alert and working round the clock."
