SC panel records ‘corruption deal’ by MLA Amira Kadal.

‘50 year old de-watering station sold for 18 lacs’

Srinagar: The report filed by the committee constituted by Supreme Court on recent Kashmir floods and the following relief and rescue efforts has recorded damning
allegations on corruption against a sitting National Conference MLA.

The committee whose members included Registrar General of J&K Suresh Kumar Sharma, High Court Bar Association Kashmir President Mian Abdul Qayoom,M K Bhardwaj
from HCBA Jammu and Director , Disaster Management , Ministry of Home Affairs have written in the report submitted to the SC that
a dewatering facility in the worst affected Kursoo Rajbagh area was shut down by a close associate of NC MLA Nasir Aslam Wani.

“They said that there was a dewatering shed in the locality where there was dewatering pump functional for the last 50 years, but one Munir Ahmad, a close friend of Nasir Aslam Wani, MLA, Amira Kadal constituency has closed the shed and has not allowed any kind of dewatering of the flood water from the area”, the report says on page 23.

The reports adds,” They stated that he has constructed a house on the state land and he says that he has paid Rs 18.00 lacs to Nasir
Aslam Wani for building the house on the state land. They stated that some dewatering has been done by the people themselves, but
the man road is still under flood water”.

The reports further adds on page 25,” They stated that no medical camp was established in the area. They stated that no dewatering
pump has been provided to them and want that the dewatering pump which was functional for 50 years and has been closed byone Munir Ahmad as the instance of Nasir
Aslam Wani, MLA Amira Kadal, Srinagar should be made functional again”.

Contrary to the Chief Minister’s claim that a flood alert was sounded in Raj Bagh area, the people told the committee that no warning
was given to them by anyone.

Interestingly the report which has already been submitted before the Apex Court shreds apart Government claims of providing quick relief and rehabilitation measures.

The report goes into detail of every front on which the state government failed the people and follows up the government claims with fact finding mission which revealed that most of the government claims was a bundle of lies.

In one of its concluding remarks the report says that as per reports most of the bureaucracy left the state especially Srinagar and those who stayed back remained indoors.” They (Govt officers) were either
busy in manufacturing the records or misleading the people. This is exactly what we have seen on ground when we visited certain
areas of Srinagar, Anantnag, Pulwama, Kulgam and Poonch. The medical camps which were shown to us to have been established/opened/started were nonexistent on ground, the report said.
