State Disaster Management Plan a welcome step: Hamid Choudhary "Global changes inevitable" 8/2/2015 11:50:49 PM Early Times Report Jammu, Aug 2: "Increasing global changes are becoming inevitable and with that threat of floods, landslides, earthquakes and avalanches are likely to increase. Jammu and Kashmir State being located on northern most part of the country and having varied climate is prone to such disasters. The state in fact has suffered such calamities and paid a heavy price for not having any advanced plan to tackle them. In the given condition having a State Disaster Management Plan (SDMP) is a welcome step". This was stated by People's Democratic Party (PDP) leader Abdul Hamid Choudhary here today who added that Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed's initiative towards approving the first-ever Disaster Management Plan (SDMP) in the State will not only help people and government stay prepared for meeting any natural calamity but will also reduce our vulnerability to these hazards. Choudhary Hamid said flash floods that affected Kashmir and other parts of the state, cloud bursts that wiped out villages in Doda and Leh besides earthquakes that jolted Bhaderwah and Kishtwar areas are grim reminders of staying prepared to more such natural disasters.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
