Addressing the residents of Guptkashi, Rawat announced that a three-member commission will be constituted to study the social, economic and psychological aspects of the victims.
"On the basis of the recommendations of the detailed study, we will provide financial assistance to these victims.”
Rawat said 1,000 new roads will be constructed by 2018 to connect all the remote villages.
