Stormy start to Himachal Pradesh Vidhan Sabha session as monsoon havoc sparks heated debate
Shimla: The 12-day monsoon session of the Himachal Pradesh Vidhan Sabha began on a stormy note Monday, with a heated debate on the recent monsoon disaster that devastated parts of the hill state. The discussion, initiated by BJP legislators, saw sharp exchanges between leader of opposition Jairam Thakur and chief minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu over the govt's relief efforts in Mandi district, one of the worst-hit areas. Since June 20, the disaster has claimed at least 140 lives, left 37 missing, and caused estimated losses of Rs 2,194 crore. Raising questions over the state govt's restoration initiatives in the disaster-affected areas in Mandi district, including Seraj constituency, the leader of the opposition said only Rs 2 crore had been released so far, despite public works infrastructure suffering losses of Rs 200 crore and water supply schemes worth Rs 100 crore being disrupted. Despite over one and a half months since the June 30 monsoon disaster in Seraj constituency, which claimed 31 human lives, 500 families are either staying in relief camps or with relatives. Additionally, the roads have not been restored in his Seraj constituency, and the water and power supply has also been restored temporarily in many areas, he claimed. The leader of the opposition further accused the state govt of not disbursing Rs 787 crore sent by the central govt after the 2023 monsoon disaster. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Use an AI Writing Tool That Actually Understands Your Voice Grammarly Install Now Undo He also targeted the state govt for shifting the horticulture college from Thunag in Mandi to an unsafe place and also registering FIRs against 62 disaster-affected persons for protesting against revenue minister Jagat Singh Negi. Responding to the allegations levelled by the leader of the opposition, the CM said it was wrong to say that the state govt is doing nothing. He stated that Seraj constituency has been included under the central relief fund and the state govt has already released Rs 3 crore from its own funds. Sukhu also stated that there is no scarcity of food and other required items in the disaster-affected areas as the state govt directed the deputy commissioner to immediately provide food and PWD officials to initiate restoration work. Sukhu added that besides him, deputy chief minister Mukesh Agnihotri, PWD minister, revenue minister, education ministers, and his other cabinet colleagues, as well as party MLAs, have been visiting disaster-affected areas to listen to public grievances and provide them relief. The CM also assured the leader of the opposition that he will sit with Thakur and work on all the schemes for the disaster-affected areas. He also mentioned that the state govt moved the horticulture college to Nachan at the request of students and their parents and that the PWD executive engineer was transferred from Mandi since he was delaying the restoration work. Dy CM Defends Govt Defending the state govt initiatives, deputy chief minister Mukesh Agnihotri stated that the state govt issued clear instructions to the field officers that they should take instructions from the leader of the opposition since he is also the MLA of the disaster-affected Seraj constituency. He added that water supply schemes are being restored in Seraj constituency, rising above political lines with the best efforts from the state govt. Agnihotri said that his home district Una has sent 10,000 ration kits to Seraj constituency. He said that the leader of opposition met Union ministers, along with all BJP MPs from the state, but the state govt has not got any relief till date from the Centre. Obituary The legislative assembly paid tributes to Ganesh Dutt Bharwal, former legislator from Chintpurni assembly constituency in Una district, who passed away on July 20 at the age of 76 years. The CM and leader of the opposition Jairam Thakur also offered condolences to the family members of all those persons across the state during this monsoon season.

State launches Shramashree to help returning migrant workers
Kolkata: Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee on Monday launched the Shramashree scheme to help families of Bengali-speaking migrant labourers returning home after police excesses in BJP-governed states. Around 2,730 such people have returned to Bengal over the past several weeks since a drive in states like Odisha, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, Haryana and Maharashtra — ostensibly to detain illegal Bangladeshi immigrants — ended up harassing thousands of migrant workers from Bengal. Families targeted in such drives and seeking refuge back home in Bengal will get a one-time grant of Rs 5,000 to cover travel costs and then a monthly financial assistance of Rs 5,000 till they get some employment (subject to a maximum time limit of a year). They would also get free ration under Khadya Sathi, Banerjee added, urging harassed migrants to return home if they wanted.
