Srinagar: Kashmir Traders Federation Thursday appealed Governor Administration to compensate those shopkeepers who suffered losses due to waterlogging in Lal Chowk and its surrounding areas.
Chief Spokesperson Kashmir Traders Federation Ajaz Shahdhar said that ever since Srinagar Municipal Corporation took control of drainage system of Srinagar, situation deteriorated. He said SMC makes no efforts to clean the drains as a result people of the city suffers after every rainfall.
Ajaz Shahdhar said UEED was capable enough to take care of these drains, however, SMC let the people down. He said the waterlogging today damaged the goods of shopkeepers while SMC after every rainfall takes cosmetic measures to dewater the city.
He appealed Governor Administration to compensate those shopkeepers who suffered losses due to negligence of SMC. (KNT)KTF demands compensation for affected shopkeepers
