Panic as cell attacks reach SrinagarSHABIR IBN YUSUF

Srinagar, June 1: One person was injured when unidentified persons lobbed a grenade at a cellular tower in old Srinagar Monday afternoon. This is first such incident in Srinagar after a series of attacks on telecom-munication installations and personnel in Sopore, Pattan and Handwara in north Kash-mir which left two persons dead during the past week. The attacks have led to tele-communication breakdown in north Kashmir.

Srinagar, June 1: A panel set up by Government of India to go into the causes of last year’s floods in JK has said that topography of Kash-mir makes it vulnerable to deluges.

Following the floods of September 2014, the Union Ministry of Water Resources constituted a 3-member com-mittee for an in-depth study and analysis of the devastat-ing deluge and to come up

with measures to deal with such calamities in future.

The committee comprised of Chairman, Central Water

Commission; Director, National Institute of Hydrol-ogy Roorkee; and Commis-sioner Indus Commission.

In its report, the panel mentions that “bowl shape of Kashmir” and “very mild slope of River Jhelum” makes the area between Sangam and Wular Lake susceptible to flooding.

“The low carrying capac-ity of the Jhelum River is due to very mild slope between Sangam and Wular Lake resulting in very low flow velocity in the river reach of about 96 kms. This slope also results in steep rise of

Srinagar, June 1: Following the a� ack on a cell tower in old Srinagar on Monday, panicky telecom companies shot an SOS to Union Telecom Ministry even as services in many parts of Kashmir were badly hit due to shu� ing of operations by tower landlords and vendors.

The telecommunication operations in North and South Kashmir remained disrupted while in Srinagar telephone services also got hampered on Monday evening.

A� er north Kashmir, many telecom tower landlords shut down their operations and vendors started removing hoarding and banners of tele-com companies in Srinagar and south Kashmir on Monday.

People complained of poor or no connectivity in several areas.

Kashmir BSNL Tower Land-lords Welfare Organization Monday decided to shut down operation of BSNL towers. “In an emergency meeting, our organization unanimously

decided to shut down the oper-ation of BSNL towers across the Valley installed in our premises or lands. We are going to close their operations from Monday evening,” said president of the organization, Shabir Ahmad Lone, in a statement.

Similarly, many telecom outlets and vendors have shut down their shops. “A� er a� ack on the mobile tower, I have decided to close my show-room,” said Owais Ahmad, a showroom owner at Sanat Nagar here.

MUDDASIR ALI

Srinagar, June 1: Hamid Nazir, the 10th grade stu-dent from Palhallan who lost vision in his right eye due to pellet injuries, is now unsure of his future.

On the fateful day of May 21 when Kashmir was observing shutdown against

1990 Hawal massacre, ten-sion had gripped restive Palhallan in

Baramulla dis-trict too. An eager Hamid however left his home to confirm whether his tuition center was open.

Finding it closed, the 15-year old boy was returning home to Raipura when he came in the line of firing by police. Hundreds of pellets, the tiny iron balls fired by police, hit Hamid in his head, face and eyes; badly damaging his right eye.

“I was walking on the

roadside when I saw a group of youth chasing policemen. They (policemen) rushed

into their vehicle and one of them pointed his (pellet) gun out and fired directly at me. They had seen me when I was on way to the tuition center,” sighed Hamid lying on a bed in Ward No. 8 of SHMS Hos-

pital here.Son of a carpenter, the

teenager from an average-economy family was keen to pursue higher studies. He
