Union minister Jitendra Singh has advised his BJP colleague Shakti Raj Parihar to maintain transparency when addressing the public regarding the fuel crisis in Jammu and Kashmir. Singh stressed the importance of honesty, especially in calamity situations, warning against making unrealistic promises.
The caution comes after Parihar's claim that the minister and Jammu's divisional commissioner assured him of fuel supplies reaching Doda via the Mughal Road. Singh clarified that although efforts are being made, the Mughal Road's limited opening for light vehicles poses challenges.
The alternate route's recent reopening was a relief to many, given the widespread blockages on the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway. Ongoing rains complicate efforts to clear the blocked routes, crucial for resuming essential services.
