Concern over non availability of ration……..!
Even as around four cabinet ministers were not present , the state cabinet today took up most of the matters that were placed for agenda in today’s meeting. While some important matters off the agenda, like the new Chief Secretary of the state were thoroughly discussed and informally approved, the meeting also witnessed some ministers raising the issue of non availability of ration in many depots of Jammu on account of which the people were suffering. Apparently the matter was raised by some Congress ministers from Jammu and expressed serious concern over the issue. However, no direction or instruction was issued by the government on this account to the concerned ministry.
