Heartbreaking to see what's happened in Uttarkashi’s Dharali village. The flash floods have literally swept away homes and lives in an instant. CM Dhami has announced ₹5 lakh for the families of those who lost their lives or their houses, which is a necessary first step to keep people afloat. But the real news is this new three-member committee being formed under the Revenue Secretary. They’ve got just one week to come up with a preliminary plan for rehabilitation and a long-term blueprint for the village’s future. It’s high time we move beyond just disaster relief and actually focus on sustainable livelihoods and safety in these fragile mountain zones. While the immediate cash helps with the trauma, will this committee actually change how we handle hill safety, or is it just another report that will gather dust? We need real, permanent solutions for our mountain communities before the next disaster strikes. #politics #social-welfare #environment https://thoxt.com/l/v0Owrh 🔗
