Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed his condolences and assured complete support from the Centre. &ldquo;I have spoken to CM Pushkar Dhami ji. Relief and rescue teams are making every possible effort under the state government&rsquo;s supervision. No stone is being left unturned in assisting to the affected,&rdquo; he said in a post on X (formerly Twitter).
