"We are all facing a big disaster at this time, and the disaster that started on 5th August is continuing. Due to this, there has been a huge loss to our lives and property and our resources have been affected by this disaster. All the roads, electricity and wires in different areas have been affected and a lot of our resources have been invested in this," CM Dhami said.
