The destruction caused by the floods in 2014 is still fresh in our memory. We remember the yeoman’s job done by Akashvani Srinagar and the telecom companies at that time. The Akashvani broadcast messages for the marooned people to know the whereabouts of their near and dear ones when there was no communication at all. One such message was aired about Dr Rafiq Masoodi. Many of us immediately knew who he was, as he was recognised by everyone by his name only. He is a well-known figure in the literary, cultural and social circles of our state and even outside.
