Srinagar, March 6, CNS: Scores of people at Brein Nishat in the outskirts of Srinagar city Friday staged a protest against the governments failure to distribute free ration in the flood affected areas. Raising slogans for justice the people said that the local storekeeper had informed them that Director CAPD has instructed him to stop supplying free ration to the locals of Brein Nishat.
We were supposed to get free ration for the month of February but the CAPD store-keeper is not providing us the same. As per government order, flood affected people were supposed to get free ration for six months, but the department is denying the same to the people, protestors told CNS.
Despite repeated attempts, Director CAPD did not bother to pick up the phone. (CNS)
