SRINAGAR, (PTK): Congress Leader Mushtaq Ahmad Khanday has urged the Governor led administration to gear up its winter preparations so that people in Kashmir are not pushed to any further inconvenience.
Khanday said that the fresh snowfall has plunged Shopian district into darkness and people hailing from far flung areas are facing immense hardships due to being snowbound and absence of proper snow clearance mechanism.
“The government should have been on tenterhooks to tackle the situation. However, such is the sorry state of affairs that majority of the areas in Kashmir are without drinking water, power and are cut-off from other areas as snow is yet to be cleared from the main roads,” Khanday said.
“Governor’s rule has failed to provide any relief to the people on ground” Khanday added.
He further added that people are facing lot of inconvenience on account of essentials services like supply of electricity, water and availability of ration, Kerosene oil, LPG and medicines. “There is no men and machinery ready so that snow is cleared immediately after the snowfall besides that there are least number of dewatering pumps for low lying and inundated areas.
