JAMMU, May 21: State president, Kranti Dal, Pritam Sharma has criticized Consumer Affairs and Public Distribution (CAPD) Department for its failure to supply ration in time.

He urged the Government to ensure regular supply of ration and warned the local administration of strong protest by the party activists if it fails to ensure regular supply of ration.
He also demanded release of pending near about Rs 65 crore fund to the contractors so that they start halted works.
Condemning the waving of Pakistani flags by supporters of Hurriyat leader Mirwaiz Umar Farooq at a rally in the old city area of Srinagar on Wednesday, Pritam Sharma said that the State Government had taken action against separatist leader Masrat Alam for holding an anti-India rally in Srinagar and hoped that it would act in a similar manner this time as well.
