Buildings collapse, people dead, many injured; massive earthquake hits Turkey.
The mysterious appearance of hoardings at Srinagar's historic Lal Chowk, inviting Kashmiris to 'invest in Turkey', has taken everybody by surprise. Authorities have no idea about persons who have installed these hoardings in every busy area of the winter capital of J&K.
"Contract of outdoor advertisements including installing hoardings and billboards has been allocated to a private company", Commissioner, Srinagar Municipal Corporation (SMC), Athar Amir Khan, told International Business Times, adding, "I have no idea who has installed such hoardings but I will check."
Large numbers of hoardings have recently appeared in different parts of Srinagar city asking Kashmiris to invest in Turkey. The billboards have been installed by a New Delhi-based immigration consultancy - Olives and Figs.
