KARGIL, Aug 3: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) delegation led by State president Jugal Kishore Sharma and State Prabhari (Incharge) and Member Parliament (MP) Avinash Rai Khanna visited cloudburst areas for assessment of the damage caused and assured the affected people of every possible help from the party.
They were accompanied by State general secretary Rajiv Jasrotia, senior leader Sofi Yousuf, State secretary Munish Sharma and district president Kargil Haji Khaddam.
Jugal Kishore Sharma while interacting with the affected people said that even though the ruling National Conference and Congress are well aware that cloudbursts and similar calamities are a regular feature in this cold desert region of Ladakh but Government has never taken any interest in making advance preparation for such situation by formulating some permanent disaster management plan.
Avinash Rai Khanna said that party at State level is making best efforts to project the problems of the people of Kargil and at national level committed to work with same zeal to make the people sitting in Delhi aware of the ground realities.
Khanna said that the monsoon session of the Parliament is going to commence on August 5 and he will personally raise the issue of Kargil in Rajya Sabha to draw the attention of the Union Government and seek some sort of special package for the affected people.
Rajiv Jasrotia, Munish Sharma and Haji Khudaam also expressed their views.
