RAMGARH : Dr. Devinder Kumar Manyal, Hon’ble MLA Ramgarh and Former Minister
for Health and Medical Education, J&K, conducted an extensive tour of various villages
and government institutions in Ramgarh Constituency, covering CHC Ramgarh, PHC
Sanoora, Government Schools, Rajpura, Swankha, Ramgarh, Bainglar, Mandal, and
adjoining villages.
During his visit, Dr. Manyal reviewed the extensive damage caused by recent floods in
Basanter Nallah and Devika River, which have left large deposits of sand in agricultural
land in Bainglar, Kamore, and surrounding areas. Farmers expressed deep concern
over their crops and cultivable land being repeatedly damaged due to recurring floods.
This is not the first time the people of Ramgarh and Rajpura blocks are facing such
devastation. The issue of flood damage, sand deposition, and destruction of fertile land
has been a long-standing challenge for the region. For years, local farmers have been
raising demands for a permanent solution, yet the problem continues to disrupt
agricultural activity season after season.
