Shimla (Himachal Pradesh) [India], August 2 (ANI): Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders and workers in Himachal Pradesh have been actively involved in relief and rescue work since early Thursday after a cloudburst in the Rampur Bushahr area.
BJP state president Rajiv Bindal expressed sorrow over the recent disasters caused by cloudburst and also highlighted the swift response of BJP leaders and workers involved in relief and rescue operations.
BJP MLA Purna Chand Thakur promptly arrived on foot with his team and had been engaged in the ongoing relief work.

He further said, “I will personally reach Samej village by this afternoon via Rampur with a large team and will also visit the remaining affected areas of the Anni assembly constituency to devise a plan for on-the-spot assistance.”
Bindal stated that State General Secretary Bihari Lal Sharma, MLA and State Spokesperson Balveer Verma, Anni MLA Lokendra Kumar, Karsog MLA Deepraj, Kaul Negi, and Ajay Shyam would join him. Bindal also emphasised the importance of community solidarity during such crises.
