Emphasising the government's commitment to public welfare, CM Dhami said, “The safety of the public is the top priority of the state government.” He assured residents that the administration is fully prepared to assist those in need.

During his visit, the Chief Minister instructed the district administration to extend all necessary support to the affected individuals. He also laid stress on preventive measures and infrastructure readiness.
