Srinagar: Inhabitants of several places
in districts Budgam, Kupwara and Baramulla have complained about non
availability of essential commodities like rice, flour, kerosene oil and LPG.
A number of people from these districts who contacted KNS
on phone complained about scarcity ration and other edible items in government
run depots. The places which are the worst hit include Makhama, Main Town in
Budgam, Nambla, Gharkote, Barnade in Uri tehsil of Baramulla district and
Kachiwara of Handwara in Kupwara district.
According to the complainants the authorities are yet to
provide ration for the month of March and where the ration has been
distributed, people have got 10 kilograms less the allotted weight of 35
kilograms.
Official sources in CAPD maintain that due to the
curtailment made by Food Corporation of India (FCI) some places of valley are
facing scarcity. Despite repeated attempts, the minister concerned was not
available to comment. (KNS)
