Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today said the damage in the state due the worst floods in more than a century would run into "many thousands of crores" but he would approach the Centre only after the final assessment is complete.

"In terms of property damage, it is too early to give a final figure but obviously it will run in thousands of crores," Omar told at his makeshift office at Hari Niwas Guest House in Srinagar. The Chief Minister said almost every sector has been badly affected by the floods.
