| Samba people face acute shortage of K-Oil | | CAPD officials allegedly delay fresh allotment to earn quick buck | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
SAMBA, Sep 13:Contrary to tall claims of the state government to provide sufficient quantity of essential commodities under Public Distribution System (PDS) to masses, the people of Samba are facing acute shortage of Kerosene Oil allegedly due to the alleged greed of CAPD officials.
It is alleged by the Samba people that there is sufficient quantity of Kerosene oil in the stores but the dealers often refuse to give it to the consumers saying that the oil is not available.
“This is nothing but the artificial scarcity created by the department so as to give undue benefits to the persons at the helm of affairs. The CAPD officials deliberately delay the fresh allotment of oil just to earn a quick buck from the dealers… There is no doubt that the K-oil is in ample quantity in the stores, however, the dealers have something else to say… The dealers just show empty K-Oil containers…,” said a resident seeking anonymity.
Thanks to the false shortage, the people of Samba particularly those who rely heavily on K-Oil to keep going their kitchens are facing lot of hardships.
“People are running from pillar to post to get K-Oil but to no avail as the dealers display ‘Not Available’ signboards to the unfortunate customers,” said Bhola Ram.
“If we approach the CAPD office to register a complaint, the Assistant Director and Tehsil Supply Officer are not available to listen to our woes… Where do we go? We are helpless,” he added
Bhola demanded that the district administration must ensure that the officers concerned should be accessible to the people so that they could be conveyed the grievances.
A few others when contacted by this scribe said that some of the people managed to meet the TSO and asked him about the reasons of K-oil shortage viz a viz flawed allotment of the essential commodity.
“The supply of K-Oil in other parts of the region is up to the mark but here in Samba town it is erratic thanks mainly to the official apathy. We met TSO to know the inconsistency… He told us that the department can not make allotment until and unless a requisition along with the consumed quantity of K-Oil is received,” maintained a local
“Simply put the officer said that the ration card slips on which the K-Oil is provided to the consumers are not yet submitted to the department due to which the details of further allotment can not be made,” he added.
