Situation at Srinagar has become too grim. DD transmission from Studio
building has stopped. Most of our staff are not able to report on duty as
their houses are submerged in Water. Water is there up to 2nd floor at Radio
colony. Radio Station though safe now as water at present has been diverted
to Dal area but till when no body knows. Water level is very high near to
Radio Station at all side. No electricity at the Station. 300 kW transmitter
is running without power since more than four days.

Almost whole of the Srinagar has been in undated with water. This situation
has arises as Jhelum river is over flowing. Akashvani Colony also people
have to shift on second floor. Few hours back Gushing water from Dam was
diverted towrds Dal lake just 10-15 meter away from Our office thus enabling
our office to be safe (narrowly) and Functioning.

just arrived. (staff performing in extreme conditions during flash floods in
Srinagar. We all are almost in water from all corners. How this net is
working GOD knows.)
