Peeran Panchayat Pradhan Kiran Sharma said that the poor family of widow Punni Devi in ​​Dhali Bagda was devastated when the roof blew away at midnight. The Pradhan and the local people arranged for the family to stay at Gyan Singh’s house at midnight. It was told that the total number of Punni Devi’s family members is 12 who are living in just two small rooms.
He told that due to strong winds, their house has suffered a loss of about 60 thousand. All the household items have also been damaged due to rain. This family comes under the BPL category and the Gram Panchayat has taken up the matter with the Block Development Officer and the Social Justice and Empowerment Department for sanctioning a new house. The Tehsil Welfare Officer Shimla Rural has also personally inspected their kutcha house by visiting the spot. Apart from this, the opportunity for their house has also been shown under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, but for the past few years, this family has not received a single penny in the name of building a house.
Pradhan Kiran Sharma has requested the state government to provide financial assistance to the family for building a house.
