Urging upon party workers to reach out to the people for resolution of the issues confronting them Kichloo described the National Conference party as an instrument of service to the people, which has remained dedicated to the cause of serving the people. He said NC believes in strengthening the people and is committed to equitable development of the State, adding that the NC party is duty bound to address the urges and aspirations of the people.
