Himachal has suffered external damage
Himachal Pradesh has suffered heavy losses due to the rains in the past. The state government has so far received the details of the loss of Rs 4,000 crore. According to Chief Minister Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu, the figure of loss of Himachal Pradesh can cross eight thousand crore rupees. Meanwhile, the central team has also reached Himachal Pradesh to take stock of the damage. Himachal Pradesh is also waiting for the possible interim amount to be received from the Centre. Himachal Pradesh already has a debt of 75 thousand crore rupees. In such a situation, the economy of the state is seen derailing due to the damage caused by the disaster. The hill state of Himachal Pradesh, moving forward on central funding, has a lot of hope and need for help from the center.
