Srinagar , Sept 17: MLA Tral Mushtaq Ahmad Shah has expressed sympathies with the resident of the villages in Tral area who suffered huge loss due the damage caused by the heavy rains on Friday. In a press statement issued here, Mushtaq said that the heavy downpour resulted in flashfloods in South Kashmir’s Tral area, causing damage to dozens of houses and washing away number of bridges.
Mushtaq Ahmad said the orchards and farm fields bore the brunt of sudden change in the weather resulting in heavy losses to horticulture and agriculture sector in the area. More than 20 villages got affected due to flashfloods in Lam River. Including several houses scores of cowsheds were severely damaged in several villages
Mushatq Ahmad while pressing the ruling government to strictly direct the administration to help out the residents in the area out of this havoc said that the relief operation should be adopted on fast track mode so as to minimize the damage. He said many villages got disconnected from Tral town as rains washed away many bridges including Tral-Satoora bridge which connects Tral town to Satoora, Haripal, Khanigund, Dar Ganaigund, Laam, Narastam and Puramigam.
Stating the situation gruesome, Mushtaq Ahmad said that the disaster management should be enhanced so as to bring the relief to the residents at an earliest possible time. He said due to the non accessibility of adjacent villages to the main town and Srinagar, the population in the area is badly trapped in miserable conditions. One of the major bridges Tral-Nawkadal bridge connecting Tral with Srinagar was also washed away by rains.
He said beside loss of houses and non accessibility due to damage of bridges by the rains there is a huge loss to orchards as fruit bearing trees got uprooted in several villages and heavy to paddy fields in number of villages. The power supply was severely affected in most of the villages and mobile telephone services in Tral also remained affected.
However, Mustaq Ahamd praised the efforts of the rescue team who in joint operation by district administration, fire-service men, police and Army saved the life of school-going children who had got trapped in the flashfloods in Bastanpora village .
