“All patients are out of danger”: Rajnath Singh in J&K after meeting with those injured in Kishtwar cloudburst

Union Minister Jitendra Singh and Jammu and Kashmir Lt Governor Manoj Sinha accompanied Singh during his visit.
Addressing reporters, Rajnath Singh said that all the injured are out of danger and are recovering properly.
“I came to see the injured in the incident that happened in Kishtwar. The Prime Minister is also concerned about this incident and he also wanted to know about the situation, so I have come here. I wanted to go to the spot but due to bad weather it is not possible to go there. It is being informed that there has been a landslide there due to which the vehicle could not move forward. All the patients are out of danger and are recovering well,” Rajnath Singh told reporters.
Due to adverse weather conditions, he could not reach the Chashoti cloudburst site.
Rajnath Singh arrived at the Jammu airport earlier today and was received by Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha.
A cloudburst occurred during the Machail Mata Yatra on August 14, in which over 60 people were killed. The cloudburst led to sudden flash floods during the pilgrimage, resulting in widespread destruction and deaths. Teams from the NDRF, SDRF, Jammu and Kashmir Police, CISF, Indian Army, and the local administration are engaged in rescue efforts, now in their eighth day.
Earlier today, LG Sinha visited the Government Medical College (GMC) Jammu to meet with victims of the cloudburst disaster in Kishtwar district. During his visit, he expressed hope for their swift recovery and detailed ongoing relief efforts.
Addressing reporters, LG Sinha said, “Everyone is stable, and I hope everyone recovers quickly and returns home. The incident was extremely unfortunate and many people have lost their lives.” He praised the authorities for their efforts, noting that 32 individuals remain missing and search operations continue
Sinha stated that Rs 4.13 crore have been disbursed to the victims so far and assured that the state and central governments will ensure rehabilitation of the affected families. (ANI)
