Srinagar, December 29, 2024 – Jammu and Kashmir’s former Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah, took charge of the post-snowfall restoration operations for the second consecutive day, demonstrating strong leadership in addressing the severe disruption caused by recent heavy snowfall. Abdullah, along with Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) and key officials, actively participated in the swift and coordinated response to the emergency situation, focusing on the restoration of essential services across both urban and rural regions.
The primary objectives of the ongoing restoration efforts were to clear the snow that had accumulated across major roads, restore electricity to affected areas, and ensure the uninterrupted flow of supplies. The harsh winter weather had left many parts of the region without power and made it challenging for people to access vital resources.
In a major step to streamline the operations, Abdullah convened a marathon meeting with Cabinet Ministers, Divisional Commissioners, and District Administrators. The meeting underscored the urgency of taking proactive and timely measures to mitigate the effects of the ongoing snowfall and minimize disruptions. Abdullah stressed the need for a unified response from all levels of the administration to restore normalcy as quickly as possible.
While addressing the meeting, Abdullah also highlighted the forecast of more snowfall in the coming days and urged the officials to maintain heightened vigilance and preparedness. He emphasized that the ongoing restoration efforts should not only focus on immediate relief but also plan for future challenges as the winter season progresses.
The restoration operation includes the mobilization of additional manpower, snow-clearing machinery, and resources to assist local communities. The administration has prioritized clearing snow from key transportation routes to facilitate the movement of people and goods. Efforts to restore power are ongoing, with teams working around the clock to repair damaged infrastructure.
Omar Abdullah’s leadership in this challenging situation has been praised by various sections of society, as his quick and decisive actions are seen as crucial in preventing further disruptions during a time of great need. The efforts are expected to continue as the region braces for more adverse weather conditions in the coming days.
