[gibies george]

Dear Soumik,

Here I am attaching a shapefile(JammuKashmir.shp (1K)
<https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?ui=2&ik=b170c7b471&view=att&th=156fa7fea3a6dab0&attid=0.1&disp=safe&realattid=f_isq2opkj0&zw>)
and mask file(JammuKashmir.nc (70K)
<https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?ui=2&ik=b170c7b471&view=att&th=156fa80281ce4a40&attid=0.2&disp=safe&realattid=f_isq2p1441&zw>)
