The Jammu and Kashmir Peoples Conference senior leader Hilal Rather monday expressed deep anguish over the massive fire incident in main market Chadoora that resulted in massive damages to various shops, restaurants and other commercial establishments.
In a statement issued to news agency Kashmir News Bureau-KNB, Hilal Rather said the heart wrenching fire incident has caused massive damage and left many shop owners distressed. He expressed unison with the affected and prayed for their quick revival. He also impressed upon the LG administration and district administration Budgam to ensure speedy revival and rehabilitation of the victims. He called for quick assessment of the losses so that adequate compensation is worked out and distributed among the victims immediately. Hilal Rather also sought up-gradation and augmentation of fire service facilities in Chadoora and adjoining areas. He said
“It is unfortunate that till date Chadoora has only one fire & emergency service brigade. While the previous governments and representatives of the area promised to augment the fire and emergency services however regrettably those governments could not deliver on making essential services accessible.” He further added
I urge the LG administration to asses the distribution of emergency services in Chadoora and augment the existing facilities and infrastructure”, statement further added(KNB)
