JAMMU, Mar 29: Jammu West Assembly Movement (JWAM) today held a protest over non-availability of ration in Government depots.
A score of JWAM activists under the leadership of their president, Sunil Dimple, today assembled here at New Plot on Janipur road and held a protest against non-availability of atta, rice and sugar in Government depots,.
Addressing the protesting people, Sunil Dimple said that almost all the ration depots in the State are dry for last five months. There is no atta and sugar while kerosene oil has also not been provided for last six months. He alleged the Government ration is being openly black marketed by the CAPD officials and demanded inquiry into the matter.
He also launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti against rising prices of the essential commodities in the State and country and total failure in controlling the price of LPG, which has reached to Rs 800 per cylinder.
The JWAM president came down heavily on Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti, saying that ‘Mufti Mohd Sayeed Food Security Bill’ has collapsed in the State and failed to provide the ration to the people of the State. He said that it is a shame for the PDP-BJP Government that it has failed to even provide even ration to the poor people.
Dimple served 72 hours ultimatum to the CAPD Ministry and the Directorate of CAPD to restore supply of kerosene oil and ration within 72 hours in Jammu city and control the prices of essential commodities.
