Army to The Rescue, Not State Government, Say Angry Srinagar Residents | Read
On Wednesday, in an Air Force helicopter that flew over flood-affected areas in and around Srinagar, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah dropped food packets to a city that remains, for the most part, under several feet of water. Tempers flared today with some angry that relief efforts were only reaching them six days after the floods began, the worst in the state in over a century. Others complained about living conditions in temporary camps. Many say Mr Abdullah's government has been short on assistance in a crisis.
