PM Modi held 11-month-old Nitika, the sole survivor of a family swept away in Seraj, assuring that she would receive complete care; the Himachal government has declared her a “child of the state.”
The monsoon has claimed 370 lives and left 41 missing in Himachal Pradesh, with Seraj alone seeing nearly 500 families rendered homeless by floods and landslides.
During his visit, PM Modi met flood-affected families, announced ₹1,500 crore aid for Himachal Pradesh, and ₹1,600 crore for Punjab, which is also battling severe floods.
