DHARAMSHALA: During a discussion on the post-disaster needs assessment (PDNA), chief minister (CM) Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu told the Himachal legislative assembly on Saturday that the state government would approach the Supreme Court, if necessary, to secure the rights of Himachal Pradesh.
The proposal for the discussion on the matter was brought by Congress legislator Chander Shekhar on the fourth and last day of the winter session of the Himachal legislative assembly. CM Sukhu, while discussing the issue in the house, said the state was faced with an unprecedented situation due to the disaster during the monsoon in 2023.
"After the disaster, the central team visited the state and losses of over ₹9,905 crore were estimated. For the last 18 months, the central government has stopped our PDNA. In the times to come, I will again meet the ministers of the Centre and take up the matter of PDNA, which is the right of Himachal Pradesh, with them. We will fight for our rights. If they do not give us our rights, we will go to SC and fight for PDNA, which is the right of the people of Himachal," he said.
