NEW DELHI : As fears of possible outbreak of water-borne diseases mounted, National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) has established five medical camps in various water-logged areas of Srinagar, the Home Ministry said here today. “Since water in most of the places recedes, threat of diarrhoea and other water-borne diseases may arise. “Thus NDRF has established five medical camps in various water-logged areas of Srinagar viz Amar Singh College Road, Shergadi, Bakshi Stadium, Badshai Nagar (Naugam) and Kushupor areas to provide health care facilities to marooned people,” the Ministry said in a statement.
NDRF has distributed 37 tonnes of relief material to flood victims in Srinagar.
