Allow international aid agencies to reach flood victims: Farooq
Srinagar, Sept 19 (IBNS) Appealing the world community and the globally acknowledged financial institutions including Islamic Development Bank (IDB), Asian Development Bank (ADB) and World Bank to extend financial support in rebuilding the flood hit Jammu and Kashmir, All Parties Huriyat Conference (APHC) chairman Mirwaz Umar Farooq on Friday asked the Indian government to rise above politics and on humanitarian grounds allow international aid agencies to reach out to the flood-hit people.
Addressing a gathering at Jamai Masjid Srinagar here, Mirwaiz stated that with the loss of precious human lives, the havoc has caused damage to the public property worth Rs. 80,000 to one lakh crore.
Mirwaiz also asked people to hold themselves accountable for the wrong doings carried in the past due to which the flood was witnessed in Jammu and Kashmir.
The APHC chairman came down heavily upon the state government for allowing construction of the residential structures in flood prone areas.
Mirwaiz appealed the general masses to extend all possible help to the flood victims and make unanimous efforts for their rehabilitation.
Meanwhile, in a bid to reach out to the flood hit areas of Kashmir, Mirwaiz visited various areas of Srinagar including Kursu Raj Bagh, Jawaharnagar, Ikhraj Pora, Meerak Shah colony, Habak and adjoining areas.
