JAMMU: PM Narendra Modi is very concerned about the cloudburst in Chishoti village in J&K’s Kishtwar and is monitoring the situation,” defence minister Rajnath Singh told reporters after meeting the injured victims at Government Medical College Hospital in Jammu Sunday.
“PM Modi wanted to know about the ground situation. Therefore, I came here to meet the injured. I also wanted to visit Chishoti village, but unfortunately there was a landslide on the road. Now I am going to Raj Bhavan, where I will talk to the affected people through videoconferencing," he said.
