The flood in J and K is receding but the situation continues to be most serious. Some of the hospitals in Srinagar are still under water.
Today I was able to contact Com.A.R.Tak, our former Circle Secretary, who stays outside Srinagar. He said that the houses of our comrades in Srinagar, including that of Circle Secretary Com.Nisar Ahmad, District Secretary Com. Bashir Khan are all submerged. They are not available on phone also. I tried several times but could not contact our comrades.
Almost all govt. offices are still out of   function. The rehabilitation programmes continue.
It is the time to help the people of Kashmir. Implement the decision of Forum by contributing one day basic salary to the J and K Relief. Forum has also demanded BSNL Management to immediately pay one month advance pay to the suffering employees.
