"We have come to know that many people have been stuck in difficult and unapproachable areas with their livestock. These people have also lost contact with their families. Hence, it becomes imperative for the authorities to immediately launch a rescue operation," he added.
He said that the authorities must also drop food packets for the nomads in the upper reaches of Pir Panjal as well as provide fodder for their cattles/livestocks.
He further said that the heavy snowfall in the upper reaches of Pir Panjal and rainfall has affected the normal life with many people stuck without ration and medical aid.
