Srinagar : Mirwaiz-e-Kashmir Dr. Moulvi Muhammad Umar Farooq has expressed deep sorrow over the tragic loss of nearly 30 lives in Katra and more casualties in parts of Jammu due to floods triggered by incessant rains.
He extended heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families and prayed for patience and strength to them in this difficult hour. Mirwaiz said that it is extremely concerning that despite warnings and weather alerts, vulnerable families were not shifted to safer places. “Warnings alone are not enough people at risk must be identified and relocated. Authorities must act with foresight so that such loss of life is not repeated,” he stressed. He urged the administration to ensure timely relief for the affected and to evolve long-term measures to protect vulnerable communities from future calamities.
