CPPWU demands disbursement of free ration

Excelsior Correspondent
KISHTWAR, Dec 15: A meeting of Chinar Power Projects Workers Union (CPPWU) district Kishtwar was held under the chairmanship of Joginder  Bhandari wherein non disbursement of free ration to the public was discussed.
Joginder Bhandari while addressing urged the  Deputy Commissioner Kishtwar  to issue directions to the Assistant Director, Consumer Affairs and Public Distribution Department Kishtwar to issue free ration of six months to the public of Kishtwar. He said that the public of remote and far flung areas of the district have already been supplied the free ration but it is a matter of great concern that the public of proper Kishtwar  and some adjoining areas have not been issued free ration which has caused resentment among the public.
He has also demanded dumping of food grains, LPG and kerosene oil in district Kishtwar in view of the winter season and the Forest Department may also be directed to provide fire wood to the public of Kishtwar so that the public may not suffer on this account.
