Himachal Pradesh Prioritizes Disaster Management and Mitigation

The government of Himachal Pradesh is working to improve how it handles natural disasters.

The Chief Secretary, the top government official, told everyone to find places to dump debris, especially in areas hit hard by disasters in 2023 and 2025.

They also changed the rules so local authorities can approve debris removal instead of the state.

They are also focusing on disaster preparation, like early warning systems for dams and managing risks from landslides and forest fires.

Money was approved for these projects.

Funds are also being used to remove debris from public areas in Mandi district.
