Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah addressed the media on Saturday over the deepening crisis caused in the state owing to unabated flooding, saying that the rescue of those trapped is the main priority of the government.

The CM said that it does not matter whether the Centre declares the situation in Jammu and Kashmir a 'national calamity', as long as timely help comes for the people.

Abdullah informed that in Kashmir, 390 villages have submerged and another 1,090 villages have been affected because of incessant flooding with South Kashmir being totally inaccessible. Abdullah called it the worst flood in the last 50 years, saying that most areas have been cut off, with bridges and roads having been washed away.
