JAMMU: District Magistrate Jammu Dr Rakesh Minhas today chaired a meeting with LPG gas distributors operating across the district. Additional District Magistrates Vidhu Shekhar, Ansuya Jamwal and Additional District Development Commissioner Sher Singh were also part of the meeting. At the outset, the DM categorically directed all distributors to adhere to the prescribed supply schedule, in accordance with established guidelines and latest circulars.

The DM further directed that no preferential treatment shall be extended to any consumer and that all distribution must be carried out in a fair and transparent manner. He strictly prohibited any distributor from allowing unnecessary queues to form outside distributorship premises, terming such practices as avoidable and a direct source of public inconvenience.

To ensure compliance and maintain a check on ground-level irregularities, the DM announced the constitution of special monitoring teams which will cross-verify stock status at distributorships across the district. These teams will continuously monitor adherence to the laid-down protocols. The DM made it unequivocally clear that any irregularities detected in the distribution process shall be dealt with strictly and erring distributors will be held accountable under applicable provisions.

We at JK Monitor are profoundly saddened by the sudden demise of our Founding Chairman, Dr. Priya Ranjan.IN LOVING MEMORY Dr Priya Ranjan

A brilliant mind who studied at Netarhat Residential School and graduated in Electrical Engineering from IIT Kharagpur before earning his PhD from the University of Maryland, Dr. Ranjan chose to return to India and dedicate his life to teaching, research and social good.
