SRINAGAR: JD(U) Party President G.M. Shaheen has issued a stern appeal to the Government of India, demanding immediate, large-scale relief and rehabilitation measures for the flood-ravaged people of Jammu and Kashmir.
In his statement, Shaheen declared: “People have endured catastrophic devastation — homes flattened, fertile lands destroyed, vehicles swept away, and precious lives lost — following the recent cloudbursts, deluges, flash floods, incessant rains, and lethal landslides across wide swathes of Jammu and Kashmir.”
He further asserted: “The magnitude of destruction is so overwhelming that it necessitates nothing less than direct intervention by the Union Government. I categorically urge the Central leadership to sanction a comprehensive, time-bound relief and compensation package for all victims of these natural cataclysms.”
Shaheen cautioned that any delay would deepen despair and disillusionment among the people, insisting that the Hon’ble Prime Minister personally ensure that “the flood-stricken citizens of Jammu and Kashmir are not abandoned or left to suffer in silence.”
The JD(U) chief underscored that every section of society — farmers, orchardists, transporters, and those dependent on tourism — has been crippled by unprecedented losses. He noted that thousands of families have seen their dwellings shattered, croplands ruined, and essential infrastructure obliterated, pushing them into extreme misery.
Calling the crisis a “national emergency in spirit,” Shaheen demanded the swift mobilization of food, potable water, medical aid, shelter, and financial assistance to rebuild shattered livelihoods. He also exhorted the local administration to act in unison with central agencies to guarantee that relief reaches the last and most vulnerable citizen without bureaucratic delay or corruption.
Reiterating JD(U)’s unwavering stance, Shaheen vowed: “Our party shall stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the afflicted families, lending voice, support, and strength until justice and relief are fully delivered.”
