AKHNOOR: A Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) delegation, deputed by J&K BJP President and Rajya Sabha MP Sat Sharma, visited the flood-affected areas of Hamirpur Panchayat and Garjal village in the Akhnoor region to assess the extensive land erosion caused by the recent floods in the River Chenab and express solidarity with the affected families.
The delegation was led by Gopal Mahajan, General Secretary, BJP Jammu & Kashmir, and comprised Rakesh Pant, President, BJP Kisan Morcha, Jammu & Kashmir, Rajeev Sharma, District President Akhnoor, former MLA Krishan Lal, Mandal President Ankush Choudhary, and District President, BJP Kisan Morcha, Purshottam Singh.
During the visit, the delegation conducted an on-the-spot assessment of the damage caused by the floods. Large portions of fertile agricultural land have been washed away due to the overflowing River Chenab, causing severe losses to farmers and posing a serious threat to their livelihoods. The delegation also interacted extensively with the affected residents and farmers, who shared their concerns regarding the destruction of agricultural land, damage to infrastructure, and the urgent need for preventive measures to avert further erosion.
Gopal Mahajan, while addressing the affected people, said that the BJP stands firmly with every family facing hardship due to the natural calamity. He assured them that the party would strongly take up their issues with the concerned authorities to ensure prompt relief, adequate compensation, and the implementation of permanent flood protection measures along the vulnerable stretches of the Chenab.
Rakesh Pant said that farmers have suffered immense losses due to the erosion of productive land and emphasized that safeguarding agricultural land is essential for protecting the rural economy. He urged the administration to immediately conduct a comprehensive damage assessment and provide timely assistance to the affected farmers.
The delegation assured the local residents that BJP would continue to monitor the situation closely and pursue the matter with the administration until effective relief and long-term mitigation measures are implemented.
