SRINAGAR: Jammu & Kashmir cabinet minister Satish Sharma stepped in to help a father-son duo injured in an accident on Airport Road near Bakshi Stadium in Srinagar on Friday.
Sharma was heading to Srinagar airport when he spotted the injured. He promptly stopped his convoy and rushed to their aid, personally assisting them and arranging their transport to a nearby hospital in his official vehicle.
“It is our responsibility to help people wherever they need us. We must step forward to assist others in times of distress,” Sharma later told reporters.
Satish Sharma, son of late former MP and senior Congress leader Madan Lal Sharma, was allotted several key portfolios on Friday including Food Supplies and Consumer Affairs, Transport, Science and Technology, Information Technology, Youth Services and Sports, and ARI and Training.

Emphasising the role of collective responsibility towards fellow citizens, Sharma highlighted govt’s role in serving people. “I appeal to everyone to lend a helping hand whenever possible. Under the leadership of CM Omar Abdullah , govt is always there for the people and we hope that citizens feel the same sense of support from us,” he said.
