Jan-Mar The state of Himachal Pradesh has been facing widespread and extensive damages almost every year because of natural calamities, unprecedented drought situation, excessive rains, snow and flash flood due to cloud burst, etc. which have been taking its toll on human lives, cattle heads, destruction of public utilities, roads, bridges, footpaths, culverts, landslides and washing away of drinking water supply and irrigation schemes and damage to public and private properties making a deep dent into the already fragile economy of the state. The losses sustained are so severe that relief and restoration operations without adequate financial resources are not possible despite best efforts of the state to cope up with the emergent situation out of the available scanty resources. - Reproduced.
