Mayawati urges Centre and states to aid rain-hit families

Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) president Mayawati on Thursday expressed concern over the widespread devastation caused by incessant rains, floods and landslides in several states, saying governments must immediately come forward to help affected families while ensuring long-term measures to prevent recurring crises.

Talking to X, the BSP supremo said, “In states like Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Delhi, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Assam, etc.,



heavy rainfall and landslides have led to extensive loss of life, property and livestock in rural areas. 

Urban centres like Gurugram and Noida are also facing severe waterlogging, causing immense hardship and financial stress to crores of families.”

She said that reports and visuals of people voluntarily extending help to victims were “quite heartening,” but added that the responsibility lay foremost with governments.
