“The state has suffered Rs 2200 crore loss due to monsoon fury and damage of Rs 600 crore to the Jal Jeevan Mission schemes. Hence we have requested the Centre to look into the issue,” said Deputy CM Mukesh Agnihotri.
The services will start to Chamba, Palampur, Rakkar in Kangra and Reckong-Peo, he added.
