Regretting the damage caused to the standing crops by turbulent winds and hailstorms Thursday evening, MLA Gulmarg Friday said that scores of villages in his constituency have suffered losses and the administration must come to their rescue.
In a statement here on Friday, MLA Tangmarg Mohammad Abbas Wani said like elsewhere, scores of villages of his constituency suffered losses due to hails and winds on Thursday. While paddy fields were flattened at certain places, fruit orchards also suffered damages.
He said though some officials from various departments visited a few villages today to assess the damage, but people of these areas are not happy with it.
Seeking Governor Sat Pal Malik’s personal intervention, Wani appealed his administration to seriously assess and evaluate the damage suffered by the farming community and accordingly compensate it.
