Thakur Questions Allocation of Central Disaster Money in Himachal

During a meeting with Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Jairam Thakur raised concerns about the deployment of central assistance after the monsoon floods. He asked whether the funds reached the hardest‑hit areas, whether roads were repaired, and if water supply systems were restored.

Thakur highlighted that in his assembly segment, the damage remains acute – houses are still waiting for reconstruction and basic amenities are lacking. He implied that the state’s inaction might be political, noting that the opposition’s criticism is often dismissed with “no interest” accusations.

The former chief minister called for a transparent audit and said the findings would be made public to restore confidence among flood‑affected citizens.
