Srinagar, Jan 16 : Amid ongoing seizure of mutton shops across Srinagar for violation of norms, the government is seriously considering to provide alternatives to the people where the mutton at set rates will be made available for the consumers.

Pertinently, nearly 90 mutton shops have been sealed in Srinagar after the dealers were found selling the meat at exorbitant rates while some wholesalers have also faced the law.

Director, Food Civil Supplies and Consumer Affairs department (FCS&CA), Abdul Salam Mir told the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO) that the department has been considering providing alternatives to the consumers.

“We will make an alternative available for the consumers in the next few days,” he said, adding that the issue is under consideration.

The consideration comes at a time when the mutton dealers, wholesalers and others are taking the streets to protest against the seizure of shops by the department for not adhering to the government rates.

“We are not selling meat at exorbitant rates, but the rates set by the government are too low,” the protesters said.

Notably, the consumers are facing hardships while buying the mutton as most of the dealers have now switched to selling chicken after the seizure of many shops in Srinagar.

The drive against mutton dealers took a pace in the first week of January as the people complained that the mutton is being sold @Rs 650 against the government set rate of Rs 535—(KNO)

Experts explain why there is sudden surge in heart attacks in Kashmir

written by JKREVOLUTION

Srinagar, Jan 16 : A sudden surge in heart attacks in Kashmir has worried people with a dozen cases reported in the last 48 hours.

Doctors said that prevailing freezing temperature constricts blood vessels and increases blood pressure as blood tends to be thicker during extreme cold, increasing chances of heart attack or stroke.

Dr Irfan, a cardiologist from Government Medical College Srinagar told news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO) that heart attack cases in Kashmir have increased in the last four years with about 10-20 heart attack cases being brought to SMHS Hospital alone on a daily basis.

He suggested precautionary measures including keeping blood pressure and diabetes in control and cholesterol levels. Besides, people should leave sedentary life, quit smoking and do regular physical exercises to avoid risk of heart attack, Dr Irfan added.

“People must keep themselves warm, avoid going out in the chilly cold for a walk. They should eat a healthy diet, mainly fruits and vegetables, to keep themselves hydrated,” he said.

He said that the first hour of a heart attack is called the golden hour and patients who have cardiac emergencies need thrombosis and first aid after which they can be shifted to tertiary care hospital.

“Whenever we receive a call, we analyse the ECG and ensure that the right treatment is given to a patient at the right time at their doorstep. When a cardiac emergency case gets first medical contact in the area, the doctor uploads ECG in WhatsApp group of Save heart initiative, where a cardiologist evaluates the ECG following which he guides the official how to handle the patient,” the doctor said.

Another cardiologist said the common symptoms for heart attack include chest pain, tightness, squeezing/ache discomfort that spreads to the shoulder, arm, back, neck, jaw, teeth or sometimes the upper belly. “Cold sweat, fatigue, heartburn or indigestion, light-headedness or sudden dizziness, nausea and shortness of breath are some of the common symptoms,” he said—(KNO)
