Srinagar: Taking strong note of certain messages circulating on social media, regarding fundraising in favour of the Acid attack survivor of Srinagar, the Director Women Empowerment, Shabnam Shah Kamili has said that the government is providing every kind of help to the survivor.
In a letter addressed to SSP Srinagar, Kamili has urged police to initiate action against such misleading and mischievous elements.

It is reiterated that the government is providing all sorts of help to the survivor with regard to her treatment etc,” reads the letter addressed to the SSP.
