Sky rocketing prices of essential commodities hit common man: Tara Chand

Early Times Report
JAMMU, Nov 8: Congress today organized a workers convention at Kharah Balli in Chaamb Constituency which was presided over by senior Congress leader and former Deputy Chief Minister Tara Chand and was attended by hundreds of people and workers from the area. He said, rise in the prices of almost all the things, including essential commodities has become a common feature these days. The Government should do something in this direction.
While addressing the workers former DyCM Tara Chand said, the increasing prices of daily commodities have become a headache for the citizens of the nation.
He said that the NDA regime has been a period of broken promises, as the election promises made in 2014 by a Prime Ministerial aspirant have turned out to be false. The Union Government is yet to take steps to check price hike of essential commodities.
Tara Chand said that hailstorm has damaged the standing paddy and crops of farmers badly. Thousands hectares of cropped area has been affected with the hailstorm in Jammu region due to massive rains, hail storm and bad weather. He said that the farmers from the plain areas of Jammu, Samba and Kathua have suffered huge losses due to recent hail storm and continuous rains. He demanded that relief should be provided to all. He hoped that the government will rise to the occasion and come to rescue of farming Community.
He questioned the BJP for its utter failure to ensure the safety of innocent people in Kashmir when the law and order are directly under Home Ministry in UT. He expressed concern over the deterioration in the situation in Kashmir due to the wrong policies of the government and its mishandling of the situation. He said that the government should ensure safety and security of minorities in Kashmir and elsewhere because the lawlessness has taken its toll of many due to absence of adequate safety measures.
He added that BJP's promise of providing employment to the youth of J&K also turned out to be hollow and its failure on this front can be well gauged from growing disillusionment and frustration among the unemployed youth of J&K.
Prominent among those present on the occasion include Dwarka Nath Sharma BDC Chairman, Jagattar Singh, Madan Lal Sharma, Jagdish Raj Sharma Block President, Bodh Raj, Devinder Singh, Gautam Sharma office bearers of BCC, DCC, Congress delegates, Sarpanchs, Panchs and others.
