Shah Faesal tours flash-flood hit areas of Lolab
Demands immediate relief to affected families
Srinagar: President J&K Peoples Movement, Dr Shah Faesal Friday visited Khodi Gagal to condole the death of Shafiqa Bano (35) in the flash-floods in Lolab the preceding day.
Faesal expressed his sympathies with the bereaved family and called upon DC Kupwara to immediately disburse the ex-gratia relief under SDRF.
At Khodi Gagal residents informed Faesal that the village had consistently been ignored and non-availability of road-link between Khodi-Gagal and Surigam had made the life of the people very difficult.
Faesal also took stock of damages caused to crops, private and public property in Surigam and Potushai.
At Potushai, Shah Faesal visited houses damaged due to storm water and assured that immediate assessment will be done.
People of Surigam demanded immediate construction of drain abandoned by the contractor and Shah Faesal assured them that the matter will be taken up with DC Kupwara.
JKPM Chief was accompanied by Feroz Wani, Provincial President, Sheikh Tauseef youth leader, Raneez Khan, Abdul Khalid Kumar and other Block and District level leaders of the party.
