JAMMU, Sep 13 (PTI): Union Minister Jitendra Singh on Saturday said the damaged structures would be rebuilt with better specifications to withstand calamities like the recent floods in the Jammu region.

Singh visited the flood-affected villages falling in Bajalta and Pargalta panchayats of Jammu district to assess the damage caused to residential houses and bridges due to torrential rain-induced flash floods and landslides.

“The damaged structures will be rebuilt, with better specifications depending upon the experience of the recent floods, so that in case there is a calamity like the recent floods in future, the structures should be able to withstand it,” the minister said.
