Community Correspondent Taha reports on floods in Kashmir. Taha reports from Nowgam area of Bandipora where the floods have washed away all the resources people had and disrupted their lives.

Taha requests the DC of Bandipora to take some immediate actions to restore the life back to normal of the residents of Nowgam. You can help by sharing this video.
