He said that the Party at the National level and in the State stands with the affected families and hoped that the life in the affected areas will soon come on rails.
Col. Uttam Singh said that the losses and damages cause should be assessed immediately and the claims be given to the people who have suffered on account of rains and resultant floods.
Farooq Khan said that although we can not bring back the precious lives but each one of us should be at the back of the bereaved families so that they do not feel alone or isolated in this hour of grief and sorrow.
