Shimla, Aug. 3 -- Himachal Pradesh governor Shiv Pratap Shukla on Saturday visited the disaster-affected areas to assess the situation on the ground and express solidarity with the affected families on Saturday. The governor visited Tungal Colony near Jail Road and interacted with the disaster-hit families. Expressing sorrow over the loss of lives and property, he assured the families that all possible support would be extended by the administration. Shukla said that both the state and the central governments are working in close coordination to ensure timely relief, rehabilitation, and reconstruction in the affected regions. He emphasised the commitment of the government to provide shelter, food, medical aid, and other essential services to the victims without delay. "The people of Himachal have always shown remarkable courage and resilience in the face of adversity," he said. Shukla emphasized the urgent need for behavioural and lifestyle change in the wake of recurring natural disasters in the region.
