JAMMU: The recent flood situation in Jammu division has once again exposed the inefficiency, negligence, and lack of preparedness of the NC-led government. For the last many days, the people of Jammu have been suffering due to the devastating floods in Tawi river, Chenab river, and adjoining areas. The destruction caused by these floods has been widespread – villages are submerged, roads washed away, houses damaged, and agricultural land ruined. Yet, the government remains a silent spectator, failing to provide any timely relief or rehabilitation measures.
The situation in Jammu division is extremely alarming. From the last five days, there is no water supply, no electricity, no road connectivity, and absolutely no health care facilities for the people who have been left stranded. Victim families are crying for help but the government machinery has remained inactive. No washrooms, no food distribution camps, no medical teams, and no rehabilitation process can be seen on the ground. This is not just administrative failure; this is criminal negligence where the lives of common citizens have been put at risk.
What makes the situation worse is the total silence of the ruling NC government. Instead of working on war-footing to rescue people, provide basic facilities, and ensure rehabilitation of affected families, the government is behaving as if nothing has happened. It is unfortunate that while the people of Jammu division are fighting for survival, the ministers and officials of the government remain in a sleeping mode.
BJP questions the NC government – why were no precautionary measures taken when continuous weather alerts had already been issued? Why was no plan made in advance to deal with the rising water levels of Tawi and Chenab rivers? If the central government has already provided funds for disaster management, why are those funds not visible on the ground? What happened to the state disaster management authority which was supposed to work in such critical situations? The truth is that the government has completely failed on all fronts – whether it is preparedness, rescue, relief, or rehabilitation.
Merely announcing a package of 10 crores, as done by Omar Abdullah, is not enough to address the scale of this disaster. What will 10 crores do when thousands of families have lost their homes, their belongings, and their livelihood? This announcement is nothing more than a political gimmick to cover up the government’s inefficiency. People do not need announcements – they need immediate relief on the ground. They need water, electricity, food, shelter, medical care, and rehabilitation.
BJP firmly believes that in such a grave humanitarian crisis, the government must act decisively and immediately. Our demand is that the NC government must deploy all its resources to provide urgent relief to flood-affected families. Health camps should be set up in every affected area, temporary shelters and washrooms must be provided, and proper food distribution must start without delay. Roads and communication links should be restored on priority, and rehabilitation of affected families must begin at the earliest. Compensation should be provided to farmers whose crops and lands have been destroyed.
There must be accountability so that funds meant for disaster relief are not misused for political interests. This is the time when the government must rise to the occasion and show responsibility. Unfortunately, the NC government has once again failed its people. BJP assures the citizens of Jammu division that we stand with them in this difficult hour. We will continue to raise their voice, demand action from the government, and extend all possible support to the affected families. The people of Jammu deserve better governance, stronger disaster management, and a government that works for them in times of crisis – not one that sleeps while its citizens suffer.
The devastation caused by these floods is a reminder that natural disasters cannot be stopped, but their impact can certainly be reduced if the government takes timely precautionary measures and stands by its people. Sadly, the NC government has failed to do so. BJP will keep fighting until proper relief, rehabilitation, and justice is delivered to every single affected family of Jammu division.
