JAMMU, Jan 2: Member Legislative Assembly (MLA), Inderwal and senior Congress Leader Ghulam Mohammad Saroori expressed grief over the damage to property in fire incident at Thathri in Doda district.
The fire incident occurred during the intervening night of January 1 and 2, in which four houses, jewellery and cosmetic shops were burnt when a cylinder blasted inside the residential house of Bilal Ahmed.
Expressing sympathies with the victims, Saroori assured every possible help. He also directed the district administration to carry out relief and rehabilitation measures for the fire incidents.
He said that there is immediate need of opening of well equipped fire service stations at tehsil level across the State, adding that in hilly areas like erstwhile district Doda, such stations should be opened at block level.
He said that in recent year major incidents like in Thathri, Keshwan, Chatroo, Bunjwah, Warwan, Marwah, Dachhan, Padder, Nagsini, Drabshala and other parts of the District have raised a question mark on preparedness of Fire Service Department and Government in tackling the increasing fire incidents in Kishtwar district and other parts of the State.
He demanded setting up of a fire service station at Thathri, Bunjwah, Chatroo, Sarthal and Bhalessa Town to cater the need of the people in the area.
