#1 Not to mention opposition by the feudal landlords.

The landlords may be behind the recently promulgated fatwa banning victims from coming down the mountains into relief camps. It seems the feudal landlords are afraid that their serf-tenants will not return from the Punjab.

Another interesting bit of info. One US geologist blamed the disparity in death tolls on the pak and Indian sides of the LOC as partly due to ethnic migration. Pakistan has settled Kashmir with migrants from the Punjab, Balochistan and Pathan areas, vastly increasing the population (over a major seismic fault) of its part of Kashmir relative to the Indian side (which actually bans non-ethnic Kashmiris from settling in the state).

#2 Can't have a bunch of infidels running around loose in the country side. No telling what they might trip over or who they might run into.
