Indian Officials In Kashmir Warn Residents To Prepare For Nuclear War
International Business Times ^ | January 23, 2013 | Amrutha Gayathri

Officials in India-administered region of Kashmir have issued an advisory to residents to be prepared for a potential nuclear, biological or chemical war by building bomb-proof basements or bunkers and stocking up of essential supplies for two weeks.

The official advisory follows a recent flare up of tensions between India and Pakistan along the de facto Kashmir border. Two Indian soldiers and three Pakistani soldiers died in January near the Line of Control (LoC) in the worst bout of cross-border violence since both nations declared a ceasefire in November 2003.

“People should construct basements where the whole family can stay for a fortnight,” read the advisory, which was published Monday in the newspaper, Greater Kashmir.

If there is no basement, residents should construct bunkers in their front yards with toilet facilities, the notice said.

People were also asked to stock up candles, battery-operated lights, radios and non-perishable food and water.

The notice said that in the event of a nuclear attack, motorists should dive out of their cars in the direction of the flash to save themselves from being crushed by their vehicles.

Local officials maintained that the warning was only a part of a routine campaign to educate the public and that the information had been available on a government website for some time.

Your ‘preparedness’ is as big a joke as the USA’s was in the Duck and Cover era. If you or I get nuked, and are close enough to the blast to require ‘evasive action’ you or I die then and there or later of radiation exposure/illness. Them’s the facts.

So dig a hole, get some water and await the cleansing nuclear fire. Because you are going to closely resemble what the guy in my first post was talking about.

Sorry if reality sucks. But that is what happens when Muslims are allowed to have nukes. Fix it now or die eventually. Your choice.

Nighty night woogums.

“but enough of the upper caste will remain to ensure United Nations representation.”

Dunno about upper cast by enough Americans already occupy the “permanent seat” at the UN. Even the damn UN building is in NYC. So no worries about UN there.

“Papa Bush and W were democrats too?”

“WE” as in the rest of the civilized world.

RE Bush: In some ways, Yup. Every bit the Democrats. They both let Democrats run their foreign policy so not much difference.

B1 stopped Desert Storm from ending Hussien permanantly and B2 didn’t finish the job due to Democrat BS. So yes, they bear responsibility. Because Pak was always connected to it.

Well one good thing, you also gave them F-16s to go nicely with their nukes. And now, why dont those stupid Indians take your valuable advise and finish of those Muslims right? Got anymore of your valuable advise for India? Dont stop, keep them coming.

Nah. There is another (may be the same guy with a different handle) that slams Palin regularly.

But in genera;, the stupid, much like the cleansing nuclear fire, burns.

In this case. probably brighter and hotter. Unfortunately.

Although we’d probably feel pretty bad if we we woke up to LIMITED NUCLEAR EXCHANGE IN KASHMIR; UNEXPECTED HOSTILITIES (except some FReepers were talking about it) headline.

Zero probably hates India, too, just hasn’t gotten around to them yet.

He’ll like them as long as he can use them against any other of our allies. But when they finally blast the Muzzies without his permission, they will become the greatest threat to mankind since GWB got elected..

Might be because the rest of the thread readers are scratching their heads as to how your brain works.

TX and I just gave up treating you as anything other than an abject idiot. I think it had to do with going all Sharpton on us with the race thing then trying to blame us for doing it.

As for your superhuman survival shills amidst nuclear fire...those speak for themselves.

Of course, you could just pay attention to the thread you post on.

Just tell me roughly where you are on the damned map and I’ll tell you where to go, what to do and who/what to take if a Kashmir nuke event is imminent.

Come to think of it, your racebaiting sure seems designed to try getting someone to go fullmetal racist on you.

Too bad we aren’t.

I personally don’t see any reason to make Kashmir a no-go zone unless there’s some rare earths there China wants to protect.
