People Continue their Struggle to Fight Snow Catastrophe
By: Azhar Imtiyaz
SRINAGAR; Residents of various areas on Saturday continued their struggle to fight the incessant and unseasonal downpour and snowfall that has affected sewerage, drainage and other civic services, throwing life out of gear in the valley.
Rains and landslides have caused widespread damage to the private and government property in several districts where several residents have been forced to leave their houses and shift to safer heavens.
The residents in the valley complained of lack of proper initiatives taken by the state government as it has made the situation worse.
Along with some other parts of the valley, people from some main areas of summer capital also claimed the same.
"Look at our condition. We have been fighting for the last 15 years with the state government as it hardly pays heed to our concerns. Presently, there is water inside our homes. We are falling sick and children are unable to go to school but the government has hardly taken any initiative to address our issues," said a protester of Rajbagh Srinagar, who was part of the protests against the lack of basic facilities in their area after snowfall.
