CM's Adviser responds to SOS on 'humanitarian crises' 7/12/2016 11:08:27 PM Early Times Report Srinagar, July 12: With the Government spokesman avoiding to respond to any public appeals or queries, Chief Minister's Adviser Prof Amitabh Mattoo on Tuesday promptly responded to an SOS pertaining to prevalent "humanitarian crises" in Kashmir asking Chief Secretary BR Sharma and other senior officials to take remedial measures. Officials said Prof Mattoo, who is out of station took serious note of the details of the SOS and sought desired results from the administration, particularly with regard to immediate improvement of health care facilities at hospitals which are running short of vital supplies. The SOS addressed to Prof Mattoo and posted on Facebook by senior journalist Majid Hyderi said: "As your Govt spokesman (Naeem Akhter) and others concerned are unwilling to take media queries, which at this point of time would pertain to humanitarian crises, you seem be the last hope to register SOS, lest more precious lives are lost." It said: "Even as medical emergency has been declared in the wake large crowds of wounded being rushed to Srinagar hospitals, not a single minister or official has bothered to visit the health care facilities." "While the hospitals are running short of essential medical supplies, they await standing instructions for procurement of the fresh stocks from open markets," said the SOS. "There is equally urgent need for hiring of medicos to extend support to doctors working here round-the-clock. If more CRPF can be imported to Kashmir, can't more doctors be brought in? Ophthalmology and orthopedic, CVTS are specialties where we need additional workforce," it added. "Moreover, the ban on mobile internet has not served any purpose. All killings and protests took place after suspension of the services. Let the youth be given chance to give vent to their feelings online. The content may be harsh, but such protests won't end up claiming human lives the way it unfolded since July 8."   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
