GAS SUPPLY: The government is moving LPG and other fuel supplies to marooned Kashmir valley using alternative routes, Oil Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said. Fuel supplies have been restored in the Jammu region and efforts are on to move stocks into Srinagar. "Some of the oil installations are under water... road movement is hampered due to floods. But we are trying to reach fuel to the people of Kashmir through alternative routes," he said. Stating that the situation in Srinagar is "challenging", he said 350 truck with petrol, diesel, cooking gas (LPG) and kerosene are lined up on roads leading to the valley and will move in immediately once the roads become motorable.
