Residents of one of the worst flood -affected villages in Pulwama district have complained about state government’s failure to provide adequate healthcare facilities to them after the calamity hit the region.
The flood victims in Gulzarpura village, where more than 90 per cent houses have collapsed in the calamitous deluge, are facing risks of contracting water-borne diseases in the absence of proper healthcare facilities.
Riyaz Ahmed, a resident of the village, said the villagers were in dire need of medical aid and no help had reached them after 15 days when flood first hit this part of south Kashmir.
A team of healthcare officials including Chief medical officer of the area on Sunday visited the village.
“The officials came, wrote a few names and left. They did not even give a single painkiller to the flood-affected villagers,” Riyaz said.
