Singh impressed upon Sharad Pawar union agriculture minister and Omar Abdullah chief minister of J&K to take stringent measures against those responsible for mismanagement and proliferation of CAPD rations and kerosene oil meant for the supply to the consumers of the state.
The NCP president expressed this dismay that the CAPD department has failed to discharge its duties properly. Singh said that ration supply and kerosene oil in most of the villages of the state has totally collapsed and ration dealers are indulging in black marketing of the ration, sugar and kerosene oil. Singh said that nexus between the CAPD functionaries, millers, FCI and ration depot holders should be broken with heavy hand to ensure timely, regular, adequate quality ration to the consumers of all categories across the state on the rates and scales. Singh assured the deputation that he has taken up this matter with the minister of food and deputed senior NCP leaders and members of FCI consultative committee to meet the minister and raise this public issue in each and every corner of the state. State NCP chief said if state government does not act swiftly to break the nexus NCP will launch an agitation stating that the authorities will solely be responsible for making them take this step.
