Rupani who was on visit to flood-affected Gir Somnath district told media persons that PM’s visit was postponed because Junagadh and Valsad both were highly affected and local administration was busy dealing with the situation.

Rupani also said that Prime Minister was concerned about the situation of excess rain in Gujarat and was in constant touch with the State government through his office.

Rupani said he had postponed his weekly cabinet meeting scheduled to take place on Wednesday(tomorrow) so that ministers can continue to work in flood-affected areas.
