By the end of September the damage costs may shoot up to nearly 15000 crores. Due to limited resources the state is incapable of handling such major damage expenses. In order to redress the sensitive regions and rehabilitate the affected planning process, help from the central government is a necessity. He requested an immediate help of 500 crores from the center.

Chief Minister further added that from the view point of natural calamities, Uttarakhand has over 370 sensitive villages which are all situated in the landslide prone zones. In order to rehabilitate the secured areas of these sensitive villages assistance in the form of Rs 10, 000 crores is needed.
