Kashmiri authorities slam 'propaganda'.

On Tuesday, Jammu and Kashmir top cop Imitiyaz Hussain slammed a media report which claimed that there was a healthcare crisis in Kashmir.

He said: “This one is absolute propaganda. There is nothing of the sort as claimed in this news story. There is no shortage of medicine, no so called clampdown. All hospitals all over Kashmir are functioning normally. Kashmir has world class doctors, state of the art medical equipment. We have been graded as best in the country in terms of health care. There is absolutely no disruption in functioning of hospitals or heath care centres.

Meanwhile, DM Shahid Choudhary also echoed the sentiments and said: “In my official, personal, moral capacity, want to assure everyone there is no healthcare crisis in #Kashmir. Some difficulties, not unique to post Aug 5 situation. Saying this in backdrop of some shocking reportage from Delhi, London & Washington. I am also conscious of fact that after reading these stories you are less likely to believe my official statement. Which is why I am also assuring everyone in my personal and moral capacity as well. Trust this local word, I am available for your questions tomorrow.”
