Sukh meets Sitharaman, seeks hike in borrowing limit for state

Chief minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu on Monday called on Union finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman at New Delhi and urged for an increase in borrowing limit due to the financial strain caused by the recent rainfall and flash floods.

During the meeting, the chief minister apprised Union minister Sitharaman of the financial situation of Himachal Pradesh along with massive loses incurred due to monsoon fury and urged the central government for assistance.

Himachal Pradesh has been witnessing large scale destruction since the onset of monsoon in the state. As per the state disaster management authority (SDMA), a total of 105 lives have been lost since June 20.

Out of these, 61 people lost their lives in landslides, flash floods, cloudbursts, drowning, fire incidents, and electrocution, as per the official cumulative report released by the state emergency operations centre (SEOC).
