Govt not helping CG pilgrims trapped in Uttarakhand: Cong

Raipur, June 19, 2013

Congress has alleged that state government was not helping Chhattisgarh’s pilgrims trapped in flood-hit Uttarakhand. In this connection, Union minister of state and acting PCC chief Charandas Mahant has written a letter to chief secretary Sunil Kumar and asked him to instantly provide help to the state’s pilgrims.

In his letter he said the Chhattisgarh government should quickly coordinate with the Uttarakhand government to rescue the trapped pilgrims. The state government should provide its helicopter for rescue operation in Uttarakhand for at least one week, he added.

The Congress spokesperson Shailesh Nitin Trivedi informed that several devotees from Bilaspur, Janjgir, Baikunthpur, Manendragarh, etc directly contacted Mahant when Chhattisgarh government did not extended its help to them. 

Trivedi pointed that when state’s devotees contacted Mahant the latter instantly talked to Governor of Uttarakhand and state administration to provide help to the disaster victims.
