Srinagar, April 23 (KNS) :Jammu and Kashmir Hoteliers Club (JKHC) urged LG Administration to provide all essential services to the people so that they don’t face any difficulty during  the Holy month of Ramadan.

According to statement issued to KNS, they also urged the administration to make special arrangements to ferry Kashmiris stranded outside the JK in lockdown.

Chairman JKHC Mushtaq Chaya said Holy month of Ramadan has approached and people need to be provided all the essentials at their doorsteps so that they don’t need to venture out during lockdown.

Chaya said government should ensure 24x7 electricity and water supply besides smooth supply of food items during this month.

“Many area are complaining of interrupted water and electricity which is a cause of concern as the month of Ramadan has just approached. The people have to wake up before dawn and electricity should be maintained round the clock so that people don’t find any problems in observing this Holy month religiously,” he said.

Chaya extended his greeting to the people on this occasion and urged them to pray at home and seek help from Almighty for elimination of this pandemic.

Chaya expressed deep concern over situation of the Kashmiris stranded outside the J&K in lockdown saying they have exhausted all their expenditures and are now on the mercy.

“Government need to ferry them back to Kashmir as soon possible so that they are with their family members during this Holy month. During this month, under the lockdown, it would be difficult for them to prepare Suhur and wake up early while they are stranded and mentally stressful. Most of them have also exhausted their expenses as there is no source of livelihood in lockdown,” he said.

He said priority should be given to the students who have already been let off form Colleges hostels.(KNS)
