Due to a lack of interest in the local population, the poverty rate raised more than 47%, and this deadly flood will add more numbers to it. People need to move forward like in the 2010 heavy flood by donating tents, medicines, blankets, and eatables in order to rehabilitate the people.

Such attempts are further supported by permitting non-temporary residents and non-locals to vote in the upcoming poll in November. 2.5 million is a significant addition to the voter base and constitutes as much as a third of it. We cannot let their efforts die in vain and upholding accountability is something that the international community owes to the suffering people of Kashmir.
