Edible oil, sugar not available at fair price shops in Himachal, says Una MLA Satpal Satti
Una MLA Satpal Singh Satti criticized the state Civil Supplies Corporation for its stalled operations, highlighting delays in tender processing for edible oils and pending approval on sugar prices for the PDS. He accused the Congress government of misgovernance, alleging widespread chaos and a halt in development. Satti also condemned a recent incident involving a drunken assault by a Junior Engineer on senior officers, demanding strict action against such behavior in government offices.
The state Civil Supplies Corporation was in a mess and its working had derailed, said Una MLA Satpal Singh Satti while addressing mediapersons here today. He added that the corporation had not found time to process tenders for edible oils and the Civil Supplies Department was yet to approve the price of sugar to be supplied under the Public Distribution System (PDS).
Satti alleged that there was misgovernance and chaos all around and the people of all sections of society were suffering.
The former state BJP president alleged that the Congress government had always been found wanting in addressing the problems of the general public. He claimed that development had come to a grinding halt while panchayat representatives were demanding money to start sanctioned works. The government, however, had no funds to initiate even minor public works, he added.
Satti alleged that there was chaos even in government offices. He cited an incident and said that a Junior Engineer in the Dhaneta office of the State Electricity Corporation in Nadaun subdivision of Hamirpur district had recently assaulted his senior officers under the influence of liquor. He added that there should be no political patronage for such anti-social elements and strict action was required to be taken against such employees, who defame the state and its people.
