Floods leave children without education in Kashmir
25
Tens of thousands of Kashmiri children have been left without education, as many schools were damaged by the recent floods. The flash floods that hit the Indian-controlled Kashmir over five-weeks ago not only washed away lives but destroyed property, business and dreams of tens of thousands of inhabitants.

I don't get why so many negative comments here.... this is just an effort to focus the problems people of Kashmir are facing after massive flood. There are many articles to show the problems in Pakistani areas too. All those who are commenting negative here Do you really don't want these problems to be solved?

It seems to be a private school they must have had Insurance coverage? From the comments here I see that people are expecting for the Govt. to fund the cleanup why should the tax payer foot the bill for a private school?

@Maria the government of j&k has to be seized of this problem. The question is, how fast would they have them restart. That depends upon efficiency of the government.

No information on whether it's a government school or private. If it's government school, I envy Kashmiris because the private school in South India where I studied is nothing compared to this. If it's private school, why should government spend the taxpayers' money to clean it ?

It does not take a huge flood to rob children of education in India and Pakistan!
The ravages of the flood will be cleaned up and school will start soon.
World is waiting for the ravages of the ignorance of the masses to stop blowing up schools and, we hope, let girls in!

It was even worse in Uttarakhand flood last year in which more than 10,000 people died. I think we need to think seriously about extreme climate events.

Poignant pictures. Needs every bit of effort to restart the schools at the earliest.

I hope Indian Govt would do something about it. Thanks to DAWN, Indian govt might notice it from your news. We Indians are all hands for the development. Stupid Indian news papers (Times of India, NDTV, ..etc) would cover these things somewhere in a hidden place. You have to use search field to find it. They are busy in bringing the news of Modi's photo on the fire cracker boxes for this Diwali (it's in the headlines of NDTV online news, just hilarious).
