| Cutting gas to 5 kg 'cruel joke, backbreaking move' | | CM's visit to south Kashmir had no impact: PDP | |
Early Times Report
Srinagar, Jan 16 : Calling the latest move of distributing 5 kgs of LPG per cylinder as a "cruel joke", the Peoples Democratic Party Monday said that this latest 'Tughlaq Shahi' directive will further crumble the supply of basic amenities that has already been rattled due to snowfall and sloppy government response.
In a joint communiqué, senior PDP leaders, Mohammad Dilawar Mir, Abdul Rehman Veeri, Mohammed Sartaj Madni, Advocate Abdul Haq Khan and Peerzada Mansoor Hussain lashed out the government's latest move and termed it "backbreaking" for the common man who has already been pushed to wall due to repeated 'failures' of the government to deliver.
General Secretary PDP, Dilawar Mir, said that in addition to 16 hours of load shedding and amid the failure to restore electricity to various parts of the valley post snowfall, the decision to cut down LPG supply has only exposed government's tall claims as a complete farce.
With the first hint of winters and the renewed snow, the government machinery which was only based on meetings, gatherings and statistics crumbled like a pack of cards, He said.
Dilawar said that government has been caught "pants down" by three inches of snow and, instead of preparing for the eventuality it doled out hollow assurances of having stockpiled essential commodities. He said that the latest decision to cut down gas supply is symptomatic of NC government's failures, which has been in survival mode itself from the last three years of its governance. Dilawar questioned the logic of the decision and said "how does the government expect people to cook without gas let alone using it for heating purposes."
He said that traffic 'mismanagement' is on its peak due to latest snow fall which has totally crippled the main towns and it is for the first time that National highway has not been cleared on time, resulting in a blockage of essential commodities. Basic services have almost disappeared, essential commodities are now a rare sight to see and sufferings of people have increased exponentially, Mansoor added.
