After the meeting, Singh said, "The situation is not good. Much houses and persons have died in flood."
Appreciating the help provided by the Central Government, Singh said, "This is the responsibility of the Central Government to take action against this issue. The Central Government's role in tackling Kashmir floods has remained positive."
