ANANTNAG, May 12: District vice president People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Abdul Rahim Rather has demanded immediate relief for the people of Breng Bala, Tehsil Kokernag which is adjacent to Kishtwar district as many houses in this belt also suffered damage in recent earthquake which shook the Chenab Valley.
In a statement issued here, today the PDP leader has made an appeal to District Development Commissioner, Anantnag to send a team of revenue officers to the area to make an assessment of the loss and initiate a relief work in the same way as has been proposed for the quake hit areas of Chenab Valley.
Mr Rather who visited the villages of Ahlan Bala, Ahlan Payeen, Traji, Darpora, Ichoo and adjoining areas of Breng Bala in Kokernag tehsil said this belt also suffered a damage in the recent earthquake as the area falls very close to the epicenter of the devastating earth quake and lies this side of the hill which divides district Doda from the Kashmir Valley.
Mr Rather said the quake had more impact in the upper belts of Breng, Kokernag particularly in the areas of Ahlan, Gadole, Magam, Sundbrari and has left many houses unfit for living as situation in these villages is almost similar to that of Chenab Valley, he added.
