Saddened to hear about the unfortunate fire incident in one of the oldest masjid in #Drass.
Drass is a sensitive region but what is more unfortunate is that there is no single fire service.Such incidents have happened in past also but UT admin has not learn anything. pic.twitter.com/GxnNNN2lGy— Sajjad Kargili | سجاد کرگلی (@SajjadKargili_) November 16, 2022
