Manipur Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) president K Meghachandra urged the state government for extending substantial and concrete financial support to those affected by the hailstorm.
Addressing a press conference on Monday at his office chamber, Meghachandra said that the people have been greatly affected by the ongoing violence, and they are affected again by a natural calamity.
He visited some places and found many houses being damaged by hailstorm, he said. Some houses will require complete reconstruction, he added.
He saw the notices issued by deputy commissioners for submitting forms with details of damage with photography. “However, the officials did not really know how to provide the assistance when I contacted them,” he said.
There is no concrete announcement of packages or aid from the government side, he said.
“The sudden natural calamity has affected a lot of people. Therefore,the state government should announce a concrete financial aid or concrete decision by considering the severity of the situation,” he added.
