"Not speaking of free ration, even we have not get the basic quota," a resident of Omar Abad HMT Javid Ahmed said. The government vide order number 03-Rev(CAMP) of 2014 accorded sanction to CAPD department to provide free ration for six months to all families affected due to floods. Each such family was liable to get 50 kgs of ration. However, people have been alleging that some storekeepers of CAPD department were not only demanded money for the ration but at various places no ration was being provided to the affected families. "The government is befooling us by making hollow claims. Please tell me where is free ration. We fail to understand why there is no free distribution of relief in all the areas," a resident of Shivpora said.
They said that the government has claimed that it distributed 90 thousand quintals of rice only in Srinagar. "All these claims are hollow and untrue. The reality is that we did not get any ration," a resident of Qamarwari alleged.
