I-Himachal Pradesh izomisa iziteshi zesimo sezulu ezingu-48 ukuze zixwayise ngokushesha ngemvula enamandla kanye nemvula

Emzamweni wokuthuthukisa ukulungela izinhlekelele kanye nokunciphisa umthelela wesimo sezulu esibi kakhulu ngokukhipha izexwayiso ngesikhathi, uhulumeni wase-Himachal Pradesh uhlela ukufaka iziteshi zesimo sezulu ezizenzakalelayo ezingama-48 kuso sonke isifunda ukuze zinikeze isexwayiso sangaphambi kwesikhathi sokuna kwemvula nemvula enkulu.
Eminyakeni embalwa edlule, u-Himachal Pradesh ubelokhu ebhekene nesimo sezulu esibi, ikakhulukazi phakathi nenkathi yezimvula.
Lokhu kuyingxenye yememorandamu esayinwe phakathi kukahulumeni wezwe kanye noMnyango Wezesimo Sezulu wase-India (IMD) phambi kukaNgqongqoshe Omkhulu u-Sukhwinder Singh Suhu.
Izikhulu zathi ngaphansi kwalesi sivumelwano, ekuqaleni kuzofakwa iziteshi zezulu ezingama-48 ezizenzakalelayo kulo lonke izwe ukuze zinikeze imininingwane yesikhathi sangempela ukuze kuthuthukiswe ukubikezela nokulungela izinhlekelele, ikakhulukazi emikhakheni efana nezolimo nezolimo. Kamuva, inethiwekhi izonwetshwa kancane kancane iye ezingeni lokuvimba. Njengamanje kuneziteshi zesimo sezulu ezizenzakalelayo ezingama-22 ezisungulwe yi-IMD.
Kulo nyaka, bangu-288 abantu abashonile ngenkathi yeziphepho, kuhlanganise nabangu-23 ngenxa yemvula enamandla nabayisishiyagalombili ngenxa yezikhukhula. Inhlekelele yemvula yangonyaka odlule yabulala abantu abangaphezu kuka-500 esifundazweni.
Ngokusho kwe-State Disaster Management Authority (SDMA), u-Himachal Pradesh ulahlekelwe imali engaphezu kuka-Rs 1,300 crore selokhu kuqale iziphepho kulo nyaka.
U-CM Suhu uthe inethiwekhi yeziteshi zesimo sezulu izothuthukisa kakhulu ukuphathwa kwezinhlekelele zemvelo ezifana nemvula enkulu, izikhukhula ezinamandla, iqhwa kanye nemvula enkulu ngokuthuthukisa izinhlelo zokuxwayisa kusenesikhathi kanye nekhono lokubhekana nezimo eziphuthumayo.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, uhulumeni wesifundazwe uvumelene ne-French Development Agency (AFD) ukuthi inikeze ama-Rs 890 crore kumaphrojekthi aphelele okunciphisa izingozi zezinhlekelele zemvelo nokushintsha kwesimo sezulu.
“Le phrojekthi izosiza umbuso ukuthi udlulele ohlelweni lokulawulwa kwezinhlekelele oluqinile, olugxile ekuqiniseni ingqalasizinda, ukubusa kanye namandla ezikhungo,” kusho uSuhu.
Izimali zizosetshenziselwa ukuqinisa i-Himachal Pradesh State Disaster Management Authority (HPSDMA), i-Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) kanye nezikhungo zokusebenza eziphuthumayo zesifunda nezesifunda (EOCs), esho. Eminye imizamo ibandakanya ukuhlolwa kobungozi bokuguquguquka kwesimo sezulu (CCVA) ezingeni ledolobhana kanye nokwenza izinhlelo zokuxwayisa kusenesikhathi (EWS) ngezinhlekelele zemvelo ezahlukahlukene.
Ukwengeza, ngaphandle kokwakha indawo eyindiza enophephela emhlane ukuze kuqiniswe ukusabela kwezinhlekelele, kuzosungulwa iSikhungo Sikazwelonke Sokulawulwa Kwezinhlekelele kanye Nombutho Omusha Wokusabela Izinhlekelele (SDRF) ukuze kuqiniswe imizamo yendawo yokulawulwa kwezinhlekelele.
