Azad met various delegations in Jammu who shared their disappointment and anger due to unscheduled power cuts in rural areas splly Chenab valley, Peer Panchal and Kashmir, curtailment of subsidized ration besides no appropriate measures taken by the government to address the highest unemployment rate in the Union Territory.

“I was bit disturbed today after meeting various delegations who feel dejected and disappointed for poor governance. They face hardships in this winter due to prolonged power cuts,” he said. Azad said that curtailing subsidized ration to people when the unemployment is highest ever in the UT is unfortunate and instead government should have increased the quantity to offer some relief to the people.
