Timely action imperative

The hottest weather conditions took an ugly turn on Sunday evening as the properties worth lakhs got damaged across the Valley after the gusty winds caused extensive damage to the people in different districts. From uprooted trees and damaged rooftops to snapped power lines and disrupted communications, the impact has been deeply felt. This is a moment that demands swift governmental response, not just in statements but in concrete action aimed at relief, rehabilitation, and long-term preparedness. While the Valley is no stranger to weather-related disruptions, the increasing frequency and severity of such events are a clear indication of changing climate patterns. What used to be seasonal disturbances are now becoming unpredictable threats. This makes it imperative for the administration to move beyond reactive measures and build a more resilient infrastructure. But before that, what is immediately needed is a comprehensive damage assessment — and quick relief for the affected. Many residents have reported significant losses: homes damaged by flying debris, crops flattened, livestock killed, and long power outages that disrupt daily life. In rural and hilly regions, such damage is not just an inconvenience. It can mean a threat to livelihood and security. For students preparing for exams, for patients in need of power-dependent medical devices, and for daily wage earners whose work halts without electricity, the consequences are dire. The district administrations must deploy teams to conduct door-to-door assessments, especially in far-flung areas where voices often go unheard. Relief must not be limited to a few headline-making regions but should cover every pocket affected by the calamity. Compensation for damaged property and loss of livelihood should be processed promptly and fairly.
