This is a great chance for entire india to show how important Kashmir is for indians. Entire India should come forward and rebuild the effected areas. And rebuild all effected homes, buildings as a model to show that how India cares for the kashmiris so that it would be an eye opener for the rest of the world. Let the re-development of effected areas of Kashmir be a model for the entire world. People should contribute handsomely and agencies like rediff which have presence in valley must setup their own offices to co-ordinate relief and rebuilding activities.
Today was the day when the whole of the people in J&K were taken by surprise. But i want to clarify that the Television Tower on the Shankaracharaya Hill was not effected by the quake, but it was being dismantled for repairing only and not effected by the quake.Hope you will recitify the mistake in the article.
