JAMMU, Nov 3: Former Minister and Congress MLA from Inderwal, Ghulam Mohammad Saroori has appealed to the Government for making immediate arrangements for stocking essential commodities like kerosene oil, LPG, medicines, ration in the Erstwhile district Doda keeping in view the forecast made by the Metrology Department for heavy snow fall in December.
In a press statement issue here Mr Saroori asked the officials of district administration especially Consumer Affair & Public Distribution Department to ensure adequate supply of essential commodities in areas under their jurisdiction and directed to streamline distribution system as per the fixed scale to the consumers. He said that people in rural areas of far off and remote areas often suffer with regard to required quota of kerosene oil and ration which should be ensured on priority.
Saroori also made a plea to the Prime Minister and Union Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas Jenab M Veerappa Moiley for provision of 12 gas cylinders to the people of Jammu and Kashmir per annum per family, keeping special circumstances in view that State experiences long spell of cold weather during winter months.
He said that a network of roads was initiated in the erstwhile Doda district to provide better road connectivity to the people living in the most backward and far flung areas of the region. Expressing concern over delays in certain projects started by the then Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir Ghulam Nabi Azad, he said Mr. Azad during his last visit to Doda also directed the concerned departments to ensure timely completion of the ongoing works and remove the bottlenecks in completion of these projects but pace of all the projects is slow.
