SRINAGAR, May 22: Former Minister and Apni Party senior leader, Mohammad Dilawar Mir on Saturday claimed disparity suffered by tribal and nomadic community members at the hands of the Food and Civil Supplies Department.
In a handout, Mir claimed that tribal groups, nomads and other backward classes are all natives of J&K who are entitled to equal rights like any other citizen but the discrimination meted out to them with regard to ration procurement is extremely regrettable.
“For centuries these people have been travelling from higher reaches towards cities and towns in the summer season and vice versa but even during the prevailing pandemic they have been subjected to face the ration shortages by the administration which is totally deplorable,” he remarked.
Mir urged upon J&K government to take cognizance of the matter and take the requisite measures to redress their grievances at an earliest.
