“In order to bring optimum transparency into the functioning of CA&PD Department and to minimize the chances of complaints against the private ration dealers”, Saroori said that Government should take new initiative policy to convert the existing Private Fair Price shops and Sale Centres working on internal adjustment basis into Government Controlled Depots.
He also demanded opening of new sale outlets in Inderwal constituency including Kither, Chingam, Passerkote, Poora Chandali, Bhata, Naidgam, Singpora, Bonda, Bhatpura, Burdhar, Sarthal, Mugalmaidan, Kuchal, Chingam, Chatroo, Sigdi, Thakrie, Thathri, Phigsoo, Kahara, Bhalessa and other areas.
