The twin capital city witnessed incessant downpour on
13th June, 2008 which continued throughout the night created a history of
worst ever flood and landslides. It is a matter of great sorrow that due
to this natural catastrophe we have come across loss of lives and
properties of unmatched magnitude. I appeal my people not to be panicked
as the Government is making all out efforts to bring normalcy by engaging
machineries to restore the disrupted essential services. The government
has also issued directives to the works department to expedite restoration
process on war footing. The Health Department has been sounded to provide
medical assistance round the clock to the affected victims. It has also
been directed to conduct awareness campaigns in order to contain outbreak of
water borne diseases in the affected areas. |

The aftermath of such natural calamity is generally associated with outbreak of
many forms of waterborne diseases leading to epidemic. It is therefore,
essential that we all take every precaution related with food items and drinking
water to avoid falling prey to diseases. I, therefore, appeal my people to take
care of themselves and ensure taking only clean boil water and avail medical
facilities for timely arrest of the diseases.
I seek your cooperation in this grave situation so that restoration process can
be expedited to bring normal life in the track.
