They also visited the villages situated on the banks of river Chenab, where agricultural land too has been washed away.
Jugal Kishore Sharma, while extending party’s full sympathies to the affected families, said that the natural calamity has caused immense damages and destruction. People have suffered losses to their houses, crops, livestock. Road connectivity has suffered, bridges got washed away and there is immediate need of taking the rehabilitation on war footing.
