“As if it is not enough, the insensitive government is linking PDS distribution with Aadhar with a sizable chunk of population yet to have cards, as the concerned agency has closed its centres due to non-payment of their dues”, he added.
Jan also criticized the Centre for not allotting required quota of LPG and kerosene oil to the State as a result of which the people in far-flung areas are suffering. He said both the Centre and the State Government have failed to mitigating the problems of the people in Jammu and Kashmir.
