In a warm gesture, PM Narendra Modi on Sunday wrote to his Pakistan counterpart Nawaz Sharif offering assistance to victims of the devastation caused by the torrential rains and floods in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). Modi, who reviewed the flood situation in Jammu and Kashmir during his day-long visit today, said he was told that the damage to life and property was equally, if not more, severe in areas across the Line of Control (LoC). ‘In this hour of need, I offer any assistance that you may need in the relief efforts that will be undertaken by the Government of Pakistan. Our resources are at your disposal wherever you need them,’ said the letter which was delivered by the Indian High Commissioner in Islamabad. Modi said like in Jammu and Kashmir, the people in PoK region too were bearing losses due to the floods. ‘This is humanitarian work and India will never be behind in doing such work, he said. Pak PM Sharif carried out an aerial survey of the affected areas in PoK which is facing the flood fury. Pakistan is ready to help India in ‘whatever way possible to mitigate the suffering of the people affected by the floods,’ Pakistan foreign office spokesperson said in a statement in Islamabad.
