Srinagar, Sep 02 : Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today thanked Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta for reaching out with solidarity and support for the flood-affected people of the union territory.
Omar said Gupta’s call and her offer of assistance from the Delhi government were generous gestures that reflected cooperation and goodwill.
“Chief Minister thanked Hon’ble Chief Minister of Delhi, @gupta_rekha Ji, for her call expressing solidarity with the flood victims of J&K and for extending her generous offer of support from the Delhi Government. He said such gestures of cooperation and goodwill strengthen our resolve in these difficult times,” the office of Chief Minister J&K said on X.
Several parts of J&K have been ravaged by heavy monsoon rains, cloudbursts and landslides over the last few weeks. More than 120 people have died in J&K, mostly pilgrims in Jammu, due to torrential rains that triggered floods and landslides.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah concluded his two-day Jammu visit last evening, where he took stock of the situation in view of deaths and destruction due to adverse weather in the region.
