Exhibting regret over the silence of the central and the state government as far as the relief and rehabilitation of flood victims was concerned, the participants stated that some elements were doing cheap politics and were on the path of discriminatory tactics in these times of difficulty and distress.

The participants stated that winter was approaching fast and the pro-Indian politicians instead of rehabilitating the homeless people were playing petty electoral politics to reap their own vested interest from the people`s tragedy.

Articulating concern over the escalation of tension on LoC between India and Pakistan, the participants said that both the countries should leave the confrontational path and instead solve Kashmir- the main source of tension between the two countries.

The participants expressed satisfaction over the working of grievance cell. They said that
establishment of such cells was necessary for exposing the black sheep existing in the society who were trying to benefit out of the tragedy.
