Mehbooba shifted to warmer location in Srinagar

November 15, 2019 18:14

PDP leader and former CM Mehooba Mufti has been moved to the government quarters in Srinagar from the Chashme Shahi hut in Srinagar where she has been detained since early August.

On November 5, Mehbooba Mufti's daughter had asked the administration to shift her mother to a place equipped to deal with the Valley's harsh winters given Mehbooba Mufti's health issues.

"The Centre will be responsible if anything happens to Mehbooba, the president of the PDP," Iltija Mufti had written in a letter to the Srinagar deputy commissioner.

"As you are aware my mother Ms Mehbooba Mufti, former CM J&K has been jailed since 5 August. A doctor recently ran multiple tests on her as she was not keeping well. As per those tests, her Vitamin D, hemoglobin and Calcium levels are low," Iltija Mufti had written in the letter.

"The accommodation she is currently lodged in is not equipped for Kashmir's harsh winters. Keeping in mind these points, I would like to request you to shift her to another location more suitable. I hope you will address this problem urgently," the PDP leader's daughter had said.
