It is imperative that the administration acts swiftly to provide financial aid, temporary shelter, and all necessary support to help these families rebuild their lives.” She has appealed directly to the Honorable Chief Minister of the UT of Jammu and Kashmir and the Lieutenant Governor’s administration to ensure immediate relief measures are put in place.
