Internet Ban Hits Life In Kashmir Valley

As Valley is in grip of intense cold waves, the doctors have cautioned people of heart ailments.“Winter brings more heart attacks and strokes than any other times of the year,” said Doctors Association Kashmir president Dr Nisar ul Hassan. He said studies have shown that there are up to 53 percent more heart attacks in winter than in summer. The Valley is in grip of intense cold waves and the night temperature has mostly remained below freezing point. He said lack of sunlight during winter leaves people vitamin D-deficient, which is associated with increased risk of dying from heart attack or stroke.
