Jammu and Kashmir floods: Yasin Malik allegedly derails Indian Army's rescue operation, asks boat patrol to disembark patients
In the midst of a natural calamity of a humongous proportion that has affected lakhs of people in Jammu and Kashmir,separatist leaders in the valley are apparently creating physical hurdles in the ongoing relief and rescue efforts carried out in the state.
SRINAGAR: Jammu & Kashmir Liberation Front leader Yasin Malik on Tuesday interrupted a rescue and relief team of Congress leaders from Maharashtra near Budshah Chowk when they were trying to rescue some children stranded in a house in the area.
Malik and his associate, after much argument, took charge of the boat and relief material in it and asked the rescue team to row as per Malik's instructions. The JKLF chief along with Javid Mir and others then distributed the relief material to people stuck in hotels in Lal Chowk and Budshah chowk. This isn't the first time in the last seven days that separatists have tried to disrupt relief operations.
