Take adequate measures to address winter vagaries in Chenab Valley: Saroori to administration

“Ensure people are not neglected of essential commodities”

Jammu, January 19: - Expressing serious concern over the erratic power supply and scarcity of essential commodities including ration, hospital supplies and LPG in the Chenab Valley, Congress state vice president and MLA Inderwal, Ghulam Mohammad Saroori has asked the administration to address the problems of the people especially who are braving biting cold in Kishtwar and Doda without power supply and rations.

Saroori said that the shortage of rations in hilly areas speaks volumes about the insensitivity and callousness of the authorities. He said there is shortage of rations especially rice, sugar and wheat flour in Government depots especially in hilly areas. He said the prevailing poor power supply virtually left the life in Chenab Valley out of gear and the people faced tremendous hardships due non availability of ration, sugar, kerosene and LPG.

“Not only the freezing temperature but the unscheduled power cuts and inadequate supply of LPG cylinders has aggravated the situation further. The authorities seem hardly bothered about the problems faced by the common people in Chenab Valley,” the Congress leader remarked.

“People here are being devoid of basic amenities. He said that the administration should ensure that people in Chenab Valley are not neglected and sufficient arrangements should be made before a snowfall in the region.

Saroori also urged the Commissioner Secretary Health and Direct Health Service Jammu to meet the hospital requirements and services for all specialty departments before the snowfall in Chenab valley. “With chilly winters, there is a surge in different diseases in hilly areas so that government should also review its arrangements and take stock of supplies in hospitals especially in rural areas of district Kishtwar, Doda and Ramban,” the Congress leader observed.

MLA Inderwal telephonically asked the BDO’s of Inderwal constituency to utilize the allocated budget in different rural development department schemes by mid February this year. He said that the working season of the district Kishtwar and Doda is before the snowfall and stressed for early completion of developmental activities being started during the financial year 2015-16 besides monitoring all the works personally in their respected blocks.

Saroori has also urged the J&K Governor N. N. Vohra to personally look into the matter of scarcity of basic essential things and to meet the required stock of Ration, fire wood and Kerosene oil in district Doda and Kishtwar before on set of snowfall. He said there is immediate need for effective measures to bridge the gap between availability and consumption of electricity, and set up a dependable power delivery system in the State,” Saroori suggested to Governor of J&K.
