I-Himachal Pradesh izosungula iziteshi zesimo sezulu ezingu-48 ukuze kuxwayiswe kusenesikhathi ngemvula enkulu kanye nemvula

Emzamweni wokuthuthukisa ukulungela izinhlekelele nokunciphisa umthelela wezimo zezulu ezimbi kakhulu ngokukhipha izixwayiso ezifika ngesikhathi, uhulumeni waseHimachal Pradesh uhlela ukufaka iziteshi zezulu ezizenzakalelayo ezingu-48 kulo lonke izwe ukuze anikeze isixwayiso kusenesikhathi semvula nemvula enkulu.
Eminyakeni embalwa edlule, iHimachal Pradesh ibilokhu ibhekene nesimo sezulu esibi, ikakhulukazi ngesikhathi semvula.
Lokhu kuyingxenye yesivumelwano esisayinwe phakathi kukahulumeni wesifundazwe kanye noMnyango Wezezulu waseNdiya (IMD) phambi kukaNgqongqoshe Omkhulu uSukhwinder Singh Suhu.
Izikhulu zithi ngaphansi kwesivumelwano, ekuqaleni kuzofakwa iziteshi zezulu ezizenzakalelayo ezingu-48 kulo lonke izwe ukuze kuhlinzekwe idatha yesikhathi sangempela yokuthuthukisa ukubikezela kanye nokulungiselela izinhlekelele, ikakhulukazi emikhakheni efana nezolimo kanye nezolimo. Kamuva, inethiwekhi izokwandiswa kancane kancane iye ezingeni lebhulokhi. Okwamanje kuneziteshi zezulu ezizenzakalelayo ezingu-22 ezisungulwe yi-IMD.
Kulo nyaka, abantu abangu-288 bashonile ngesikhathi semvula enkulu, okubalwa kubo abangu-23 ngenxa yemvula enkulu kanye nabangu-8 ngenxa yezikhukhula ezinkulu. Inhlekelele yemvula enkulu yangonyaka odlule yabulala abantu abangaphezu kuka-500 esifundazweni.
Ngokusho kwe-State Disaster Management Authority (SDMA), i-Himachal Pradesh ilahlekelwe yimali engaphezu kuka-Rs 1,300 crore selokhu kwaqala imvula enkulu kulo nyaka.
U-CM Suhu uthe inethiwekhi yeziteshi zezulu izothuthukisa kakhulu ukuphathwa kwezinhlekelele zemvelo ezifana nemvula eningi, izikhukhula ezinkulu, iqhwa kanye nemvula enkulu ngokuthuthukisa izinhlelo zokuxwayisa kusenesikhathi kanye namakhono okusabela eziphuthumayo.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, uhulumeni wesifundazwe uvumelene ne-French Development Agency (AFD) ukuthi inikeze ama-Rs 890 crore kumaphrojekthi aphelele okunciphisa izingozi zezinhlekelele zemvelo kanye nokushintsha kwesimo sezulu.
“Lo msebenzi uzosiza umbuso ukuthi uqhubekele ohlelweni lokuphathwa kwezinhlekelele oluqinile, kugxilwe ekuqiniseni ingqalasizinda, ukuphatha kanye namandla ezikhungo,” kusho uSuhu.
Le mali izosetshenziselwa ukuqinisa i-Himachal Pradesh State Disaster Management Authority (HPSDMA), i-District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) kanye nezikhungo zokusebenza eziphuthumayo zesifundazwe nezesifunda (EOCs), esho. Eminye imizamo ihlanganisa ukuqhuba ukuhlolwa kobuthakathaka bokushintsha kwesimo sezulu (CCVA) ezingeni ledolobhana kanye nokuthuthukisa izinhlelo zokuxwayisa kusenesikhathi (EWS) zezinhlekelele zemvelo ezahlukahlukene.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, ngaphandle kokwakha indawo yokuvikela inhlekelele ukuze kuqiniswe impendulo yezinhlekelele, kuzosungulwa iNational Institute of Disaster Management kanye neState Disaster Response Force entsha (SDRF) ukuze kuqiniswe imizamo yokulawula izinhlekelele zendawo.
