The event was attended by Sh Pushkar Singh Dhami, Hon’ble Chief Minister of Uttarakhand  and Sh Sukhvinder Singh, Hon’ble Chief Minister of Himachal Pradesh, virtually. On the occasion Doppler Weather Radar Systems for Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh were also inaugurated.

Addressing the event virtually, the Lt Governor congratulated the India Meteorological Department, Ministry of Earth Sciences, Government of India for the Doppler Weather Radar (DWR) with a range of 100 kms, which will help in detection of severe weather events & safe conduct of various pilgrimages especially Shri Amarnathji Yatra.

IMD is playing a significant role in protecting life and livelihood of the people from adverse weather and is registering remarkable progress in making J&K disaster proof, said the Lt Governor.

The Lt Governor said, the system will go a long way in augmenting and helping the Agriculture & Allied Sectors and Tourism which are the mainstay of economy of Jammu and Kashmir.

The Lt Governor observed that the UT receives heavy snowfall in winter and heavy rain in summer which makes it vulnerable to various kinds of natural disasters like cloud bursts, lightning, landslide, flash flood, flood and avalanches.

Keeping in view the vulnerability due to various kinds of extreme weather especially in a changing climate scenario, and to provide better & improved weather services for timely forecasts, IMD had earlier installed two Doppler Weather Radars one each in Jammu & Srinagar.
