Omar to review post-floods relief, rescue operations in Poonch

JAMMU: (Aug 5) Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah will on Wednesday assess the ground situation in the flash flood and landslide-hit areas of Poonch following last month’s rain fury, which claimed 16 lives and left six others missing in the border district.

“Chief Minister is visiting Poonch today to meet the people affected by the recent floods and assess the damage and relief requirements first-hand. He will also review the ongoing relief, rehabilitation and restoration measures with the district administration,” the office of chief minister said in a post on X.

Travelling to Poonch via the historic Mughal Road, the chief Minister was received at Pir Ki Gali by his cabinet colleague and Jal Shakti Minister Javed Ahmed Rana and Surankote MLA Choudhary Mohammad Akram. Senior civil and police officials also accompanied the chief minister during the visit, the officials said.
