Srinagar, Sep 4(ANI): Locals of Himachal Pradesh's Sangla village have urged the state government to take adequate steps to avert large scale damage that could be caused due to floods.
Sachin Negi, vice chief of the village, said that the residents live under constant fear of floods, and asked the state government to take up the task of constructing check dams with an aim to prevent damage caused due to floods.
"The village is under the fear of flood and it damages our crop, which is the economic backbone of our village. It also affects our future generation. As you can see, the crops are destroyed due to flood water," Negi said.
"The government should take measures to prevent further damage. The government should put in place proper crate wires and the village should be channelised," he added.
Meanwhile, the vice-chairperson of Block Development Committee, Kanta Laxmi, said that every year the villagers incur huge losses, as their apple orchards are washed away in the floodwater.
"This village is affected by flood during the rainy season every year and villagers constantly live under the fear of floods. The gardens, farms and houses get washed away in floods every year. So, we are trying to reach out to the government for getting some assistance," said Laxmi. (ANI)
