Rescue and relief operations by National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) in flood ravaged Jammu and Kashmir are continuing with as many as 49,115 flood victims being evacuated by NDRF from flood affected areas of Kashmir Valley so far.
Since water in most of the places is receding now, threat of diarrhoea and other water-borne diseases may arise.
Thus, NDRF has established five medical camps in various water logged areas of Srinagar which are Amar Singh College Road, Shergadi, Bakshi Stadium, Badshai Nagar (Naugam) and Kushupor areas to provide health care facilities to marooned people.
So far, the NDRF has distributed 37 tonnes of relief material to flood victims in Srinagar.
Today, relief material and medical officers with medicines have been airlifted from Delhi to Srinagar.
