Ensure power supply, ration availability, road connectivity: Congress tells Govt

The Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) Wednesday sought redress of grievances of the people saying that the government had failed to ensure basic facilities to the people.

A statement of Congress issued here said that the government should lay emphasis on ensuring electricity, road connectivity, availability of ration and other required facilities to the people on a priority.

The statement said that a meeting of JKPCC presided over by JKPCC President Ghulam Ahmad Mir expressed serious concern over the difficulties confronting people due to the ongoing harsh winter. It said that despite repeated appeals, the supply of electricity had remained unsatisfactory while many important roads in extreme far-flung areas in south Kashmir, especially Anantnag and Kulgam were yet to be cleared.
