Flood fury in Kashmir leaves migrants stranded

Srinagar/Kathua, Sep 18 (ANI): Migrants hailing from Gujarat cried out for help as widespread mayhem caused by floods in Jammu and Kashmir has left many stranded. Residents stranded for days by the floodwaters said that the army has selectively evacuated tourists and people according to a pre-set priority list, leaving locals to be rescued later by volunteers. Migrant workers and poor people say they are all still struggling for basic amenities like safe drinking water, food packets and blankets. A woman migrant, Geeta, living in a makeshift hut inside a camp set up by paramilitary Border Security Force (BSF), said they had nowhere to go since their houses submerged in flood waters. Deputy Inspector General of BSF, Vikas Chandra, said they are in the process of shifting migrants back to Gujarat. Sep 18, 2014
