Reasi, Mar 9: People of Pouni near here have alleged that government ration was being sold in black in the town by ration dealers.
They alleged that there existed a nexus between local ration dealers and black marketers as genuine card holders were being denied ration while others were getting it without any problem.
Locals also held a protest today, alleging that they were either getting no ration or were being given a less quantity of it. "We have also complained to senior officers but they are yet to take any action against the ration dealers," they said.
"We are given wheat instead of flour, but those, who don't have ration cards, get the items as per their choice. We are not being given ration as per our entitlement," they alleged and threatened to intensify their stir in case the ration dealers did not mend their ways.
When contacted, Additional Director CAPD, Reasi, Shahid Ahmed said he was unaware of the alleged black marketing of ration in the area. He also said there was shortage of flour. |
