Ukhrul, June 6:
Feeling the pulse of his people and understanding the dire conditions faced by the victims of Cyclone Remal, Ukhrul MLA Qr. Ram Muivah once again extends his unwavering assistance, this time providing rice to those in need.
The recent ReMAL cyclone has severely impacted parts of Ukhrul, leaving many residents in challenging situations. The cyclone, which struck on the fateful days of May 27th and 29th, caused extensive damage, with numerous houses, paddy fields, and retaining walls collapsing beyond repair. Some victims are still struggling to recover from their injuries.
Amidst the cries for help from the affected residents, it is disheartening to note that no assistance has been forthcoming from the government. The lack of official support has left many feeling abandoned in their time of need. Conversations with the victims reveal that the only aid they have received so far has come from the community and generous individuals.
Eno. Vaomathot Shimray noted that despite the MLA undergoing medical treatment in Delhi, he remains actively engaged with the situation in Ukhrul. He has directed his team and staff to continue providing immediate assistance to those in need. On Wednesday, June 6th, they were able to extend help to many victims in Ukhrul town and other areas of the Ukhrul Assembly Constituency. Shimray emphasized that for the people of Ukhrul, this current season is a busy and challenging time, as traditionally, most households are occupied with working in their paddy fields. Given the circumstances, rice is the most crucial commodity they require.
“This season is particularly difficult for our people because it’s when most families are engaged in cultivating their paddy fields. The most important thing they need right now is rice, so today, we are distributing rice to all those affected by the natural calamities,” explained Eno. Azan Shimray.
Sources informed that the team managed to provide rice to the victims and plans to continue such activities. The MLA’s initiative has brought a glimmer of hope to the affected residents, showcasing the power of community solidarity in times of crisis.
