As coronavirus cases have been reported from the Union territory of Jammu and Kashmir, the administration is still clueless about the shortage of face masks and hand sanitisers in the markets of Kashmir.

People have panicked as four cases of deadly coronavirus — two testing positive and two suspected with ‘high viral load’ — were reported on Saturday in the newly created Union Territories of J&K and Ladakh.

As the authorities responded by shutting down all primary schools, both government and private, in six districts of Jammu and Kashmir and in Leh district of Ladakh till March 31, the people in the region rushed to the medical shops and grocery stores to buy hand sanitisers and face masks. However, most of the people complained that the markets were running short of supplies.
