Srinagar: National Conference Working President Omar Abdullah Friday conducted an extensive tour of areas falling under the Batamaloo Constituency that have been adversely affected by water-logging and flooding due to a breach in a local nallah. The NC Working President was accompanied by NC Leader and Batamaloo Constituency In-charge Irfan Ahmed Shah and Political Secretary Tanvir Sadiq.
Omar visited various localities and residential colonies that continue to be water-logged and also visited those areas where residential houses have suffered extensive damage due to the incessant rainfall. The locals complained about discrimination by the administration in dispensing relief and de-watering operations and told the NC leader that nobody from the administration had cared to mitigate their sufferings beyond photo-ops.
The NC Working President asked the Government to address the issues on a priority basis and ensure that de-watering is conducted in a focused and sustained manner as a lot of areas continue to be water-logged. Omar also asked the Government to conduct immediate assessment of losses to residential houses and dispense interim relief to the affected families.
