Crisis in Pernote Village: Landslides Prompt Swift Action from Authorities

Pernote village, nestled just five kilometers from Ramban town, has been plunged into chaos following a series of catastrophic landslides that wreaked havoc on its infrastructure. The unfolding crisis has spurred authorities into action, with teams dispatched to investigate the root cause of the land subsidence.

The ordeal began with a cascading landslide yesterday evening, approximately 5 km from Ramban, causing significant damage to the picturesque landscape. Roads have been rendered impassable, severely disrupting transportation, while around 30-40 houses in the vicinity have suffered extensive damage.

In response to the escalating situation, authorities have launched surveys and assessments to gauge the extent of the destruction and identify potential risks. Urgency has been emphasized by local officials, who have evacuated those left homeless by the disaster.

The severity of the crisis became evident as cracks appeared in the walls of houses in Pernote village, signaling imminent danger. Matters worsened when the vital road link connecting Gool and Ramban succumbed to the sinking land, further isolating the beleaguered village.

Leading the response efforts is Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, who has personally overseen the crisis. “The safety and well-being of our citizens are of paramount importance,” affirmed LG Sinha, stressing the need for a coordinated approach.

Sources reveal LG Sinha’s constant communication with relevant authorities and experts to unravel the mystery behind the land subsidence. “Identifying the cause is crucial to preventing future occurrences and ensuring community safety,” remarked an official.

Relief operations prioritize the relocation and resettlement of affected families to safer locations, offering immediate assistance such as shelter, food, and medical aid. The District Administration Ramban has launched a comprehensive support initiative, including a 24/7 kitchen facility at the campsite in Pernote.

The camp office of the Deputy Commissioner/Chairman DDMA Ramban has been set up to coordinate relief efforts, providing essential supplies and medical aid. The administration remains committed to supporting the community through this crisis, offering unwavering assistance every step of the way.
