I will follow the relief process personally and I assure the victims that due relief will be provided to the sufferers,” said Dr Andrabi. Dr Andrabi was told that most of the destroyed shops had no insurance cover; therefore it was the duty of the district and divisional administration to come to their rescue.

The locals of the area appealed to the administration to sanction and establish a Fire Prevention Station in the area as we have the famous shrine of Babarishi in the place.
