Kundal visits flood hit areas of R. S Pura JAMMU, AUGUST 16-Member Legislative Council, B R Kundal, on Friday visited flood hit areas of R S Pura and took stock of damage caused due to incessant rains and flash floods in various parts of the tehsil. Kundal asked the District Development Commissioner, Jammu, Ajeet Kumar Sahu, to depute a team of senior revenue authorities to assess the losses so that the relief under State Disaster Relief Fund could be disbursed to them under norms. He asked the authorities of Municipal Committee R. S. Pura to remove debris from nallahs in several areas of the town so that the residents do not face any inconvenience during rainy season. He called upon the people not to dump debris in the nallahs adding that such exercises not only create problems for Municipal Corporation during removal of garbage (mulba) from nallahs but also causes water clogging which results damage to households. Later, Kundal also visited Government Degree College and Government Higher Secondary School to take stock of the problems being faced due to clogging of water in the premises. He asked the Municipal Committee to immediately dewater the premises so that students do not suffer. He directed the officers to pay regular visits in the flood prone areas of the town to ensure every possible help to the people of this border belt.
