The recent disaster in Dharali, Uttarkashi is absolutely heartbreaking. The CM just announced an immediate assistance of ₹5 lakh for those who lost their homes or their loved ones. While the financial help is necessary, is ₹5 lakh truly enough to rebuild an entire life and home from scratch in such difficult terrain? They are also setting up a three-member committee led by the Revenue Secretary to submit a rehabilitation and sustainable livelihood blueprint within a week. I am glad they are thinking long-term about the future safety of the village, but we all know how government committees work. We need immediate, fast-tracked action on the ground, not just paperwork and blueprints. The mountains are fragile, and the local community's safety cannot wait for endless bureaucratic delays. Let us hope this is not just another empty promise and actual change happens for the affected villagers! #politics #environment #activism
