Jammu, Sep 29: Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Monday urged officials and citizens of Jammu and Kashmir to join hands in tackling encroachments along water bodies, stressing that climate change is a reality people must acknowledge.
Speaking in the backdrop of the recent floods in Jammu, which he described as a catastrophe “unseen in the past,” Sinha said the disaster had caused widespread destruction. “More than 4,000 houses have been damaged, over 3,237 kilometres of roads affected, and more than 70 major bridges destroyed,” he said.
The LG directed officials to take strict action against encroachments and appealed to the public to actively participate in safeguarding natural resources. “Citizens must report encroachments on natural resources in their respective areas to the authorities. Let us unite to rebuild a stronger, more secure future,” he added.
