SRINAGAR, April 26: Former Deputy Mayor SMC and J&K People’s Conference State Youth President on Tuesday conveyed his deep solidarity with the fire victims of Sheikh Mohalla, Brane-Nishat where at least five houses were gutted in a hapless fire incident. In a statement issued to the media, Imran said that such a portentous incident has not only damaged the houses of victim families but even crushed their hopes of a better and prosperous future. “This is a heart-wrenching incident. I request the district administration Srinagar to immediately depute the assessment making teams to the vicinity & provide adequate compensations to these families in order to help them rebuild their torn down homes once again,” he said.
