Jammu, 02/09/2025 — Social activist Sanjay Manhas has called for urgent government intervention to provide relief and rehabilitation for thousands of families affected by the recent floods in Jammu and Kashmir.
Addressing the situation, Manhas said the devastation caused by the floods has left communities in despair, with people struggling for food, drinking water, medicines, and shelter. He urged the administration to ensure the swift distribution of essential supplies and deployment of adequate medical teams in the worst-hit areas.
“The ground reality is alarming. People have lost homes, crops, and livelihoods. Relief must reach them on time, without bureaucratic delays,” Manhas stated, adding that transparent monitoring of aid distribution is critical to avoid misuse of resources.
He further appealed to non-governmental organizations, youth volunteers, and local business houses to come forward and support the victims with donations and on-ground assistance.
Apart from immediate relief, Manhas stressed on the need for long-term disaster management planning, including improved drainage systems, stronger embankments, and community awareness programs to minimize damage from future calamities.
Residents in several affected areas have echoed these concerns, saying that timely help will decide how quickly they can rebuild their lives after the floods.
