They said the successive regimes have made all efforts to exploit the region but never worked for the progress and prosperity of its people.
“Some major power projects are operational here. The government is earning huge money of it. Locals should have been employed in these projects so that they could also have economic prosperity. But unfortunately nothing of that sort happened,” Saroori said.
He said his party, if elected to power had made it a resolve to ensure every local youth is provided job opportunities.

“DAP’s core agenda is to secure the land and job rights of people. It will not only fight for these rights but will explore all options in government and semi government sectors to absorb maximum youths,” RS Chib said.
Jugal Kishore said that Chenab valley is at the core of DAP’s agenda and its people will be taken aboard for the region’s socio-economic development. He said his party will ensure there is no nepotism in the administration since people having influence in power corridors are awarded with jobs and other benefits.
“When the government should have provided some sort of relief to people, it has increased power tariff with frequent unscheduled power cuts. It seems the government is ill bothered about the miseries of people,” chief spokesperson Salman Nizami said.
The youth convention was organized by DAP spokesperson Sharik Saroori, District president Kishtwar Shabir Lone and additional spokesperson Randeep Bhandari.
Among others present in the convention were, Mohd Iqbal Keen, Masood Malik, Sajjad Malik, Tariq Hussain Mintoo, Roop Lal, Ali Mohd Naik and Ch Baji Baniya.
