SHIMLA: The All India Kisan Sabha (AIKS) calls on the Central government to declare the current crisis in Himachal Pradesh a National Disaster due to the immense destruction. Swift action and resources are required to aid the flood-hit state.
Heavy rains have caused unprecedented devastation. AIKS criticizes the Union Government's inadequate response, urging them to address the economic struggles faced by affected communities, especially farmers and homeowners.
AIKS President Ashok Dhawale and Gen Secretary Vijoo Krishnan, demand compensation for those who have lost homes and livelihoods. Corporations flouting environmental norms should be held accountable for their role in this disaster.
AIKS applauded its HKS for its resilience in helping those affected. The toll is grim – 327 lives lost, thousands of cattle gone, and over Rs 10,000 crores in damages.
AIKS condemns the government's neglect of environmental concerns for corporate interests, highlighting the need for balanced priorities.
This tragedy underscores the consequence of profit-focused development over people and the environment. AIKS urges nationwide support for Himachal Pradesh's residents in this time of need.
