220 killed so far RK News Srinagar: Authorities in Kashmir have collected the bodies of women and children floating in the streets on Thursday as anger mounted over what many survivors said was a bungled operation to help those caught in the regions worst flooding in 50 years with Kashmirs main city Srinagar particularly hard hit. Some air force officials have reported that they have seen bodies of women and children floating. We are making every effort to collect the bodies as soon as we can, said Srinagar police officer Faizal Wani. The ferocity of the floods appeared to have caught the administration in Kashmir by surprise and has prompted an outpouring of anger in entire Kashmir. Officials say 220 people have been killed in Srinagar, a city of about 1 million people. The scale of the disaster would only become clear once the water recedes.
