Jammu April 22 (KNS): Former MLC and senior National Conference leader Rattan Lal Gupta today sought adequate stocking of rations at the depots besides availability of essential commodities to meet the requirements of the people.
In a statement issued to KNS, Gupta said that the ongoing lockdown has caused an extra-ordinary situation on all fronts and there is need for ensuring door step availability of rations to rationees, availability of essential commodities and free rations to weaker segments of society especially daily earners.
Gupta also referred to the onset of holy month of Ramadhan and hoped that the administration will ensure availability of rations and adequate supply of power and drinking water to the people. Due care is to be taken about the far-off and remote areas by ensuring buffer stocking of quality rations at the sale outlets. There has to be coordination between the line departments dealing with essential services, so that people do not face difficulties, he added.(KNS)
