Are people cooperative ?
Yes intially people were a bit hesitant but with the time they understood that without biometric Aadhar Updation they will not get ration card they became cooperative .

In second category PHH ( Priority House Holders )that is slightly we have ration card seven lac thirty three thousand four hundred thirty three about 30 lac souls in it . 
Then comes the NPHH ( Non Priority House holders )   comprising of middle class in it we have ration cards getting ration without subsidy ,and in this category there are four lac seventy three thousand five hundred thirty two comprising of 20.49 lac souls .
Rich and affluent get ration cards in form of golden cards as adress proff but don't get ration .
There has been constant issue in Kashmir since last decades that rich class also takes undue benefit by having ration cards showing them poor ?
We are having a constant economic audit of families in this regard and looking after it . I have directed my official to genuinely get those who are economically now affluent out of ration cards meant for poor. 
What about sugar distribution ?
Sugar is now given to the poorest of poor only . We give them one kilogram per card .
What are current schemes going ?
Ration supply is good . We have sound Gas supply for ten days advance and refresh it daily . We are giving the poor class free ration currently .
What about market checking against inflation ?
We are on regular checks especially mutton dealers and other shopkeeper to check the rising prices .
Isn't there human resource shortage when it comes to all important market checking ?
Yes there is human resource shortage in this regard .
What is your message ?
