SRINAGAR: The Jammu and Kashmir National Conference (NC) on Thursday urged the divisional administration to ensure uninterrupted availability of essential commodities, including electricity, drinking water, food supplies, cooking gas and firewood, during the winter months.
In a statement, NC Provincial President Showkat Mir called for adequate stocking of essential commodities, particularly in remote and snowbound areas that remain cut off during heavy snowfall.
He said areas such as Machil, Tangdhar, Keran and Gurez in Kashmir, along with Marwah, Warwan and Dachhan in the Jammu region, often face connectivity disruptions during winter, making access to essential supplies difficult for residents.
Mir urged the administration to ensure that adequate stocks of food items, medicines and other medical supplies are transported to these areas well before the onset of severe winter conditions.
He also called for arrangements to maintain uninterrupted electricity and drinking water supplies and ensure the availability of quality food items, cooking gas and firewood.
Referring to the Omar Abdullah-led government, Mir said development activities were underway across the region to address public concerns and improve people’s welfare. He said the government should focus on delivering relief and resolving people’s problems at the grassroots level.
