Congress Pushes Relief Package
Priyanka Gandhi already paid a visit with the aim of connecting with the affected people in recent landslides and floods. Accompanied by Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Thakur Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra conducted an assessment of the relief and rehabilitation operations in areas such as Shiv Bawari, Krishnanagar, and Kanlog in Shimla. She expressed her concern over the distressing situation in the state and the substantial losses it has endured.
While talking with reporters she stated:
“The situation in Himachal Pradesh is very painful and the State has suffered immense losses. The State Government led by Chief Minister Thakur Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu is working tirelessly to provide relief to the disaster-affected people. The Union Government seems to be unable to grasp the gravity of the situation in Himachal Pradesh. The losses in the State are so substantial that the State Government cannot handle it alone. Therefore, the Union Government must rise above petty politics and help generously the people of the State during this challenging time.”

Appeal for National Disaster Declaration
“The Central Government should not discriminate between the States on party lines. It becomes the duty of the Union Government to provide aid in such circumstances, analyzing the impact of the disaster. The Center should declare such a massive catastrophe as a ‘National Disaster’ and should immediately come forward for the help of the affected,”
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra asserted.
The Congress party, under the leadership of Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, is actively advocating for substantial aid to address the catastrophic situation in Himachal Pradesh. Their plea for a special relief package and the designation of the crisis as a ‘National Disaster’ underscores the urgency of providing assistance to the affected residents.
