POONCH, Dec 18: People of the Poonch district, especially from border area of Balakote, Mankote, Mendhar and Mandi have expressed their resentment over shortage of kerosene oil as harsh winter was going on with heavy rains and snowfall and CAPD department was unmoved to restore the supply of the essential commodity in the area.
They said due to harsh winter the upper reaches were covered under thick layer of snow while incessant rains were going on but CAPD department has failed to restore the supply of kerosene oil to the district, They said it was their primary requirement because electricity remains mostly interrupted or goes off for longer intervals of time.
According to locals, for the last over three months the supply of kerosene oil was not made to the district as most of the depot holders had to get their licenses renewed but now three months are over but still department failed to take the cognizance of problems being faced by the people.
Social activist MR Kazafi from Mendhar has urged the LG and Director CAPD/ FCS&CA Department to ensure supplies of this important commodity which was much needed during winter season.
