Himachal Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu on Friday donated personal ‘savings’ of ₹51 lakh to disaster relief in his flood hit state. Himachal Pradesh is slowly finding its feet again after a furious battering by relentless rains during the ongoing monsoon. Many lives were lost and massive damage caused to infrastructure.
The Chief Minister and his wife Kamlesh Thakur presented a cheque of ₹51 lakh to Himachal Pradesh Chief Secretary Prabodh Saxena in Shimla.
“I understand the pain of the people and their plight during the recent monsoon fury. Several precious lives were lost and many rendered homeless, besides huge losses caused to property,” he said.
