Rajouri, Jan 11 : Despite tall claims by the district administration that all the victims of September month's natural calamity have been provided necessary relief material, free ration and financial help for the reconstruction of their damaged houses, victims have been holding protest demonstrations at various places for relief and free ration. During last few days several such protest demonstrations were held by the inhabitants of Rajouri, Sunderbani, Nowshera and Kotranka tehsils at their respective places alleging that administration has failed to provide free ration for the last four months, names of many real flood victims missing from beneficiary lists and blue eyed persons were given undue benefits by the concerned revenue officials.
Flood victims from Sunderbani tehsil including Manoj, Vinos, Pinka and others have criticized the Consumer Affairs& Public Distribution (CA&PD) department officials for issuing free ration to some selected people while actual and poor flood victims either have been ignored or their names are missing in the lists of beneficiaries. They warned large scale protest including closing of Jammu-Poonch highway if the department failed to issue free ration to actual victims. "The ration have been provided to those whose names were recommended by the revenue department and CA&PD officials have no role in deleting the names of other victims" said Madan Lal, TSO.
