Chief Minister has asked the districts magistrates of Sonebhadra extend help to the people within 24 hours who have suffered losses in hailstorm and asked the district officials to personally visit the affected regions.
The DM has been asked to send his report to the government at the earliest.
The directives were given after report of large scale destruction was reported in hailstorm from Sonebhadra. The report says that hailstorm followed by incessant rain has damaged crop and property in many villages. Initial report suggests that three dozen villages have suffered massive destruction. It also says that the damage is extensive. But this is silent about casualty.
The Chief Minister has asked District Magistrate to identify the villages and families to have suffered losses as per the government norms. Ensure that the relief reaches the affected families within 24 hour. Send the report to the government about the extent of damage at the earliest, he said.
“The officials should also go to the affected villages personally to oversee the relief and rescue. No laxity in extending relief will be tolerated,” he said.

He also ordered a compensation of Rs 2 lakh for the dead and Rs 50,000 for the injured.
Government has also asked the district magistrate Ghaziabad to lodge an FIR against the guilty.
