In their report submitted to the party supremo, Sheikh Ab. Rehman these leaders have started that in the entire Chenab Valley there has been no rains since April- 2011 and that about 3/4th of the crops have been damaged and the danger of starvation like situation looms large in the entire region in near future.
More to this, two months free ration sanctioned last year has not been distributed among farmers and that farmers are being provided cash in lieu of ration which appears to be getting into a large scandal.
The release further added that a small shower in the region on August 7, 20 11 cannot make up the loss caused to crops and the government should not delay or deny the relief benefits to the people who have already suffered much losses.

He further said that due to loss to the crops there appears a further danger to the lives of cattle stocks in the region.
