Later, addressing a public meeting at Peeri, Choudhary Liaqat Ali said it was his heart felt wish to get sanctioned tehsil and block status for Peeri, which was also the long pending demand of the local populace and we are thankful to Chief Minister Omar Abdullah who fulfilled our demand.
He said it is a big achievement for us, as the discrimination with which the Peeri was being met with for last 60 years would be ended gradually. “Now, people wouldn’t have to go Kotranka for their revenue related works.
