Their misery has added to problems of the administration in a Muslim-majority region where a revolt against Indian rule has simmered for nearly a quarter century. Nobody in our area was rescued by air.? Outside one mosque-turned-camp in Srinagar, food supplies dropped earlier in the day by a military helicopter were strewn in a gutter, rejected.     ?People said we don?t need this government food,? said Nayeem, who lives in the neighborhood.</p><br clear="all"/>
