According to a statement issued to a local news gathering agency KNS, while addressing a press conference here this afternoon, Sayeed Asgar Ali has expressed his deep concern over the unauthorized and illegal distribution of six thousand solar cookers by the workers and some office bearers of National Conference at Kishtwar. He said that these solar cookers were allotted by Ministry of New and Renewal Energy, Government of India for distribution amongst the deserving beneficiaries of Kishtwar district.
But the NC leaders, who are habitual of breaking rules and norms, have brazenly manipulated in connivance with the official of JAKEDA (Science and Technology)officers/officials to handover these solar cookers to the party workers and office bearers of the party.
"The matter was brought to the notice of then Deputy Commissioner Bashir Khan, who immediately took effective steps for avoiding any mis-use of these solar cookers.
