Srinagar, Aug 30: Divisional Commissioner (Div Com) Kashmir Anshul Garg on Friday said the valley has sufficient stock of essentials, including kerosene and LPG, to last for the next fifteen days despite road closures triggered by incessant rains.
“People need not worry. Kashmir has adequate essential supplies for fifteen days and by then new stock will arrive. Road closure will not affect the supply chain,” Garg told the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO).
He said the administration is closely monitoring the situation, adding that roads will be restored soon. People, he said, need to remain calm as Kashmir is “well-stocked with essential supplies”.
Meanwhile, Union MoS, Dr Jitendra Singh, who visited the flash flood-affected parts of National Highway at Thard and Bali Nalla along with DC Udhampur Saloni Rai and senior officers of different departments including NHAI and Central authorities, shared on X that work was going on round the clock.
