Jammu & Kashmir floods: Rescue operations scaled up, death toll 215

Friday September 12th, 2014

The Army, IAF, NDRF and other government agencies have scaled up relief and rescue operations in the food-hit Jammu and Kashmir amid growing fear of water-borne disease outbreak as the water is said to be receding in most affected areas.

Chief minister Omar Abdullah has admitted that the likely spread of diseases is the main source of worry for him after the water recedes.

Stagnant water, the paucity of clean drinking water and people living in close quarters in ill-equipped relief camps is a recipe for a disease disaster. ?We are preparing ourselves for diarrhoea and measles which is common when people live in clusters,? Dr Salim Rehman, Director, Health Services of the State?s Health Department was quoted as saying.
