G M Saroori visits Margi Warwan cloudburst victims

Srinagar, Sep 2: A Congress delegation led by senior leader and former minister Ghulam Mohammad Saroori visited Margi Warwan to meet the families affected by the recent devastating cloudburst.

While interacting with the victims, Saroori said the administration, under the supervision of SDM Dr. Mohammad Ashraf, was present on the ground to extend relief and support. He informed that he had already briefed the Deputy Commissioner Kishtwar about the problems being faced by the people of Margi.

Terming the tragedy a natural calamity, Saroori urged people to pray to the Almighty for protection from such disasters in the future. At the same time, he strongly criticized the Lieutenant Governor’s Administration, the Chief Minister, and the Central Government for “ignoring Margi and failing to reach out to its victims.” He questioned why relief efforts were focused on Chishoti while Margi was left unattended. “It was commendable that leaders reached Chishoti, and we pray that such a tragedy never occurs again. But the fact that neither the L.G. Administration, nor the Chief Minister, nor any minister came to Margi is deeply unfortunate,” he added.
