Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan is visiting Jammu and Kashmir to take stock of the medical relief operations in the flood-hit state.
Officials said that the Health Minister will reach Jammu today and oversee the onsite relief operations there. He will visit Srinagar tomorrow to review the relief work there.
The Health Ministry had earlier sent over 100 tonnes of medicines and other supplies, besides teams of doctors and experts to flood-ravaged Jammu and Kashmir.
A 20-member clinical team comprising physicians, pediatricians and reproductive health specialists have been deployed in Srinagar.
The Ministry has set up a control room here to monitor the situation round-the-clock.
