Baramulla Jan 14: The residents of Boniyar village of North Kashmir’s Baramulla district staged a peaceful protest against the Curtailment of ration by the government.
“Government has already stopped Flour,Sugar and Kerosene at ration depots,now the government has stopped giving the additional 35 kg of rice. We live in rural areas. We have joint families systems in rural areas and we can not manage on 35 kg of rice in a month”,said Shabir Ahmad a local resident.
He also said that we welcome the government’s decision to provide free rice up to December 2023 but it becomes tough for us to manage with only 35 kg“s of rice.
“We have been already suffering immensely due to water and power shortage, inflation and unemployment, the government has now added more to our woes as only four kg ration is available for a consumer at a ration depot,” a local Mohd Afzal said.
“Government should take people on board before deciding about their fate”,he added
The residents appealed to concerned authorities to look into the matter and demanded adequate supply of rice, sugar,and Kerosene at ration depots.
