District Administration Reasi in close coordination with the Indian Air Force, successfully airlifted ration supplies to the rain affected Sarhi village in Bhomag.

 The Sarhi area of Tehsil Bhomag was isolated due to multiple landslides on the Reasi–Sarhi (via Tote) road, while the alternative Udhampur–Sarhi (via Moungri) route was blocked after the Thathi Bridge was washed away. Although adequate ration stock is currently available, precautionary measures are being taken to avoid any shortages.

Deputy CommissionerNidhi Malik emphasised that this intervention ensured that essential commodities reach the residents despite the challenging terrain and adverse conditions. “So far, 25 quintals have been delivered and the exercise will go on, subject to favorable weather conditions,” said DC Reasi.

The Deputy Commissioner further informed that reconstruction of the Thathi Bridge is being taken up on priority with Army support, while alternate routes and manual transportation options are also being explored.

The joint effort reflects the administration’s commitment to the welfare of the people and the Army’s unwavering spirit of service, bringing much-needed relief and reassurance to the community in their time of need.

The District Administration has reiterated its commitment to ensuring that all possible assistance, including emergency medical support, reaches people stranded in remote and inaccessible areas due to recent heavy rains and landslides.
