He was accompanied by Haryana Home Minister Anil Vij. Khattar also held a meeting with the district administration officials in Ambala. He also reviewed the relief and rescue operations in the district. So far, 10 people lost their lives due to rain-related incidents in the state.
As per Khattar, people in the affected areas were moved to safety and food packets, water tankers and fodder for animals are being dispatched.

"In some places, there was record rain. Seven districts -- Ambala, Panchkula, Kurukshetra, Karnal, Yamunanagar, Panipat and Kaithal -- have been affected more by the rain. But there has been relief since yesterday evening. Relief and rescue work is underway on a war footing," said Khattar.
