SRINAGAR, Kashmir—A five-member medical team sent by Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) to the flood-affected areas of Jammu & Kashmir on Wednesday organized a camp at Badgam to pass aid to the needy.
As per a press release issued here by public relation section of the Gurdwara body, nearly 100 patients were examined. Medicines were also distributed to them at the camp on the first day.
Daljit Singh Bedi, additional secretary of SGPC, who is camping in Srinagar, said they had formed committees of local residents in various colonies to coordinate with them for the distribution of ration among the flood-hit. He said they had launched the process to assess the loss of life and property in the area.
