Srinagar, Oct 25: Jammu and Kashmir National Conference president Dr Farooq Abdullah on Friday emphasised the party’s unwavering dedication to addressing the challenges faced by the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
During discussions with various public and individual delegations at the party headquarters Nawa-e-Subha, Dr Abdullah listened to the concerns raised by the visiting groups. He assured them that their issues would be brought to the attention of the concerned ministers and urged them to maintain contact with their local MLAs for further assistance, the party said in a statement.
The NC chief asked the party MLAs to maintain public outreach efforts to identify and address the issues faced by the people in their constituencies. “It is imperative that the public outreach programme be sustained, with MLAs actively engaging with their constituents. As the winter season approaches, the MLAs must assess the condition of electric transformers in their areas. Regular visits to local schools, healthcare centres and PDS stores are essential. It is their responsibility to ensure that essential utility services are consistently provided to the people,” he said.
Meanwhile, Dr Farooq offered Friday congregational prayers at Asar-e-Sharif Dargah Hazratbal. MLA Eidgah and Pro-Tem speaker Mubarak Gul accompanied him to the shrine. “Together they prayed for lasting peace and prosperity in J&K and Ladakh,” the statement said.
