GK NEWS NETWORK

Srinagar, Oct 21: Chairman of Hurriyat Conference (G) Mir-waiz Umar Farooq on Tuesday hit out at the state government for failing to start rehabilitation of flood hit people in Kashmir.

Mirwaiz was interacting with people during his visit to flood hit areas of Rajbagh, Jawahir Nagar and Ikhraj pora areas here

“You must confront the chal-lenging situation which has arisen as a result of the deadly floods with courage and com-mitment,” Mirwaiz said consol-ing the people in these localities.

On the occasion, inhabitants

of these areas apprised Mirwaiz about their grievances and dif-ficulties.

Hurriyat spokesperson in a statement said the aggrieved inhabitants told Mirwaiz that “government practically has not taken any steps to address the difficulties faced by them or ensure their rehabilitation.”

Speaking on the occasion, Mirwaiz said out of 400 houses 180, were completely damaged due to floods in these areas.

“The callousness of Gov-ernment for not starting any rehabilitation program in these areas is regrettable. In other areas of Kashmir as well, government was acting dis-

criminately as far as relief and rehabilitation was concerned. It aptly displays the anti-people policy pursued by the state authorities against the flood hit victims,” Mirwaiz said.

Mirwaiz on behalf of Dar-ul-Khair Mirwaiz Manzil, dis-tributed relief material among the flood victims. “Hurriyat would carry out the relief and rehabilitation of people at this hour of crisis in whatever capacity it could. Floods have caused large scale destruction and brought immense miseries and hardships to the people of Kashmir which calls for serious introspection as to what went wrong. Kashmiris should act as a nation to face the challenge posed by the natural catastro-phe,” he said.

During the workshop, eight p e o p l e w i l l undergo surgery under skilled interna-tional surgeons at SKIMS Soura here. Dr Lakdawala termed the event “a great chance to learn” for the local surgeons. According the experts, a team of sur-geons, anaesthetics, dieti-cian and endocrinologist is required to conduct the procedure. Besides, the procedure also needs a

lapro-theatre.“Kashmir has all these

facilities, but people need to be trained about this surgery. I and my team have understood how many people would not be able to go for surger-

ies outside the state,” said Dr. Lakdawala, who is also President elect of International federation of Obesity Surgeons (IFSO), Asia-Pacific Chapter.

“My team would put in all efforts to train sur-geons and other doctors in the state,” he said stress-ing on the need of govern-mental initiative and sup-

port in this direction.Addressing a press con-

ference here, Tej Kaul, Principal Trustee and Head Clinical Governance, CODS said, “such a confer-ence is an important mile-stone for both Kashmir as

such as breast, uterus and prostrate.

He called for intensive efforts to tackle obesity and its related disor-ders— pressing upon the immense success of bar-iatric and metabolic sur-geries in their treatment. “Diabetes, not accidents, is the leading cause of amputations in India.
