IMRC Executive Director, Manzoor Ghori Visits Kashmir
IMRC's Executive Director, Manzoor Ghori visited Kashmir on November 1, 2014 to oversee the work done by IMRC's team and implementation partner, ITSP. ITSP has been an active partner in the relief work through its reliable volunteers and commitment to helping the people of Kashmir; aligned with our goal to serve humanity without any conditions.
IMRC team and ITSP's volunteers visited the districts of Bekumpura, Lilhaar, Gunbagh, Kakpura and Pulwama in southern Kashmir and observed the devastation caused by the floods to the agricultural fields and homes.

Blankets and phairen (traditional winter coat of Kashmir) were distributed in the village of Bekumpa. The visit to Bekumpa was devastating. The wrath of the floods destroyed crops that were being cultivated this year and stored harvest of the previous year. Because of the rise in the water, the storage areas got sub-merged in the flood water and got mixed with mud/silt.

Our implementation partner is assisting in completing Phase I of relief work and preparing a working plan for Phase II.
The IMRC team would like to thank ITSP for providing strong ground support and accommodations. Your continuous support is still needed!
