Srinagar, Feb 05: National Conference (NC) general secretary and MLA Khanyar Ali Mohammad Sagar on Wednesday met with several delegations from across the valley. The delegations brought forward pressing concerns, such as electricity shortages, water scarcity, and the rising unemployment among the youth.
“Youth representatives expressed deep concern over the alarming unemployment rates in Jammu and Kashmir, especially after the abrogation of Article 370,” the party said in a statement issued here. They said local youth with high qualifications are being overlooked, while outside bureaucrats are neglecting their grievances.
Sagar reassured the delegations that the Omar Abdullah-led government is dedicated to fulfilling all promises outlined in the party manifesto. He expressed confidence in the restoration of Jammu and Kashmir’s statehood soon and stressed that ending bureaucratic rule is crucial for empowering the people.
“The people have entrusted the National Conference with their mandate, and a democratically elected government will work tirelessly to address all issues gradually,” the MLA said.
Sagar urged party members to prepare for the upcoming Urban Local Bodies and Panchayat elections.
