Tasleema in a statement called upon the district administration to provide compensation to the orchardists who lost their apple and cherry crop due to the natural catastrophe thus affecting their source of livelihood. Demanding compensation for the orchardists, Tasleema said that the team needs to be sent on ground to take account of the situation and ensure immediate help to the affected group.

“It is very sad to know that the hailstorm has lavished huge damage to the orchards in North Kashmir . Since many people are dependent on orchards for their livelihood, the administration must come forward and provide necessary aid and compensation to the affected group at this time of desolation,” she said.
