Loudable actions by CM Dhami. But should evolve a very efficient monitoring system over and above systems evolved by respective DMs. He should first check out wild life menace on terror Lorne natives. The very fear is upsticking villagers, by hampering their confidence to stay in villages. I have advised, through some other forum, that top priority is to rehabilitate wild lives in jungles by planting fruit trees and erectng fencing around RF & CF, separating these to enter villages. Protect routes frequented by school goers or other villagers.
Let some initiative be rested upon State Desaster Management to augment rescue management and rehearse rescue drills.
