I had no government: Omar Abdullah

September 11, 2014 07:11 PM

"I had no government as the seat of the establishment was wiped out by the worst floods in over a century," Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said today, recalling the nightmare of the disaster that hit his state six days back.

 

His own residence has no power supply, his cell phones have no connectivity but Omar is working out of a guest house where he has created a make-shift mini secretariat to direct rescue and relief operations.

The state's Finance Minister Abdul Rahim Rather was located today in the Taxation Office where he was holed up for five days, unable to come out because of surging floods and cut off from the world because of the communication black out.
