Sajad Rasool, VV coordinator in J&K reports - I visited some parts of the Kashmir valley like Parihaspora where people are running out of stock in the relief camp. I also went to Awantipora where crops are completely damaged and water level was more than 20 feet. I went to Pampore where there is zero relief operation and hundreds of houses have been washed away by floods and some are still submerged. I went to Rajbagh where the authorities have breached the bund to drain water out of the area which should have been done much earlier. Irony is that the govt is not evacuating people whose houses are still in water. Many are still living on 2nd or 3rd floor of their houses because they are afraid of thefts. But it will be dangerous to stay in a house which has been water logged for so long. #JKFloodRelief #kashmirFloodRelief #kashmirFloods
