Srinagar: Soldiers working to rescue the
thousands of people who still remain
stranded in Srinagar have been asked to
remain "very calm" if they are pelted wit
stones by angry crowds, a senior army
officer told NDTV today.
"Our assessment is that crowds are being
provoked," said Lieutenant General
Subrata Saha, General Officer
Commanding the 15 Corps. " Incidents o
stone-pelting are a hindrance to our
rescue and relief operations and are
denying people their right to be rescued,
he said, while stressing, "I have instruct
my men to be very calm if incidents of
stone pelting take place."
The state of Jammu and Kashmir has bee
ravaged by the worst floods in over a
century. The army, air force and navy
have engineered a massive operation th
has so far brought more than one lakh
people to safety. (Here is How You Can
Help )
But recently, army trucks have been
attacked with stones as they tried to
deliver supplies in Srinagar; the air forc
yesterday said it was scaling back on its
winching operations- roping up strande
people into helicopters - after threats of
stones being hurled.
