Badalta Manzar (June 09, 2014): An independent news report on Jammu and Kashmir

The fire victims of chattabal Srinagar are demanding proper rehabilitation as they are living in very miserable conditions in tents. The affected families are living in canvas tents provided by Red Cross society. But due to the rainy season they are not comfortable in tents and they don’t have other basic facilities including proper ration, clothes, and water and toilet facilities. Although the state govt. claims to have spend millions of rupees on the roads development but it all seems like on papers only. Taking the example of the main roads in kishtwar district one would say that people are still living in the medieval times. The condition of the road is so pathetic that it’s become impossible for the transport to ply smoothly on this vital road. The commuters have to face difficult time while travelling on this road. Although the state govt. is doing all its efforts to upgrade the health care facilities in the far flung areas but still a lot needs to be one. The public health centre in the border town of Trehgam in kupwara district was established some 12 years back and since then no up gradation has been done. This 25 bedded phc despite having all the basic facilities and latest equipment have shortage of doctors in the phc. Jun 9, 2014
