The Chief Minister released a statement on the social networking site X with the intention of allaying public fears and describing the state government’s urgent reaction plan.

“Dear residents of the state, numerous districts in the state have reported thunderstorms, rain, and hailstorms,” he said. But you don’t have to be concerned. Your government’s first responsibility is ensuring the safety of every state citizen.

District authorities in the impacted regions have been instructed by the chief minister to carry out quick and comprehensive assessments in order to evaluate the damage brought on by the bad weather. In order to guarantee that impacted residents get aid right away, he emphasized the need of swift and efficient relief efforts.

“The officers of the districts affected by storms, rain, hail, and lightning have been instructed to survey the area and carry out relief work with full promptness,” he said.
