Politicians messing with history is wrong: CM Omar

STC NEWS DESK
SRINAGAR, AUGUST 19 (STC): Messing with history, especially by politicians, is wrong. Governments change, but history should remain truthful. Let children learn facts and decide for themselves.
Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah stated this today while giving details of post-cloudburst situation in Chasoti, Kishtwar.
He remarked, “Their (opposition) job is to oppose everything, and our job is to work. We will continue to engage with people despite criticism.”
Giving details about the recovery process in Chasoti in the aftermath of cloudburst, Omar Abdullah clarified that the disaster in Kishtwar was caused by a cloudburst and not by the bursting of glacial lakes. He said a team of experts has been appointed to assess vulnerable areas and suggest measures to reduce future risks.
“The administration’s priority in Kishtwar is to recover the missing, support the affected families, and take expert measures to prevent such tragedies in the future,” he said and added that around 70 people remain missing after the cloudburst, and the chances of finding them alive are almost impossible.
“Our effort will be to retrieve as many bodies as possible and hand them over to families for proper last rites,” he said.
