State, as an erosion disaster threatened area, and come to the aid of the people by reconstructing and including the roads in the area in the ongoing rural road development projects.

It further mandated the House Committees on Works, NDDC, Emergency & Disaster Preparedness, Internally Displaced Persons , Environment and Habitat and Legislative Compliance to ensure compliance to the resolutions and report back to the House within the shortest time possible for further legislative action.
