The Mangan district, located in the northern part of the state, has been facing relentless rainfall for the past few weeks, which has triggered several landslides.

He assured that the state government would provide all necessary resources and funds for the same. The Chief Secretary also directed the Electricity Department to restore power supply to the affected areas at the earliest.
The state government has also taken measures to ensure the safety of the people living in the low-lying areas. The district administration has been instructed to evacuate them and shift them to safer locations. The government has also set up relief camps in schools and community centers to provide shelter to the affected people.
The Chief Secretary also urged the locals to stay vigilant and follow the instructions of the authorities. He emphasized the need for proper planning and preparedness to mitigate the effects of natural disasters. Mr. Telang also commended the efforts of the disaster response teams and volunteers who have been working tirelessly to provide relief to the affected people.
The state government has also sought help from the Indian Army to assist in the rescue and relief operations. The Army has deployed its personnel and equipment to the affected areas and has been actively involved in helping the locals.
Mr. Telang has assured the Chief Minister and the people of the state that the government is committed to providing all necessary help to the affected areas. He also urged the people to come forward and contribute to the relief efforts in any way possible.
