Srinagar, May 29 (KNS): The valley of Kashmir is highly volatile to earth quakes and floods. 2005 earth quake, 2014 floods, cloud burst in Ladakh and in various other parts of J&K State. Frequent cases of fire incidences have still not alarmed the state and the central government to highly develop SDRF in terms of training, equipment’s and modernization. During 2014 floods SDRF was no better than the common public. SDRF continues to lack even the basic
Equipment’s which could ensure safety of its own team in operations. Irony is Crores of funds are send by Central Government for disaster management which either get lapsed or find their way in the pockets of blue eyed policy makers and officials.Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp ChannelCivil Society Forum of Kashmir (CSFK) expresses deep shock how SDRF is being neglected on all the fronts by
Centre and State Government. Such deliberate intention to ill equipped SDRF is a grave injustice to the people of J&K State and puts lives of Lakhs of people at risk.
Civil Society Forum of Kashmir (CSFK) strongly appeals to Central & State Government to ensure upgradation & modernization of SDRF on all fronts in terms of equipment’s, manpower, communication and training, CSFK further appeals State Government to enter into cross disaster management programs with other states and even outside country.
