SRINAGAR: Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti today reviewed law and order situation in the valley and directed the administration to arrange free food-grains to the poor families and ensure smooth conduct of NEET exam “at all costs”.
“The Chief Minister took overall review of the law and order situation and stock and supply position in the valley at a high level meeting here,” an official spokesman said.
Forty-three people were killed and scores of others injured in the ongoing unrest in the valley triggered by the killing of Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani early this month.
The spokesman said the Chief Minister asked the divisional administration to arrange free food-grains for poorest of the poor families who were getting rations under Antyodaya Anna Yojana (AAY) and whose bread-winners are not able to earn anything because of the prevailing law and order situation in Kashmir.
“Arrange free rations to all AAY families across the valley and ensure distribution of the same to such families effectively through Mohalla Committees.
“We should ensure that no such family which depends on day-to-day earnings for their bread and butter should suffer for want of food because of the prevailing law and order situation,” the Chief Minister said.
In a separate direction, the Chief Minister asked the Chief Secretary that adequate arrangements should be made for smooth conduct of National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) on July 24 in Kashmir. (AGENCIES)
