Most of the participants also acknowledged the services rendered by Dr Jitendra Singh in his constituency in the last six years and his efforts to make up for the lapses of past.

During the meeting, a presentation was also made about the major works accomplished in the Udhampur-Kathua-Doda constituency during the one year of the second parliamentary term which completed last month.
Dr Jitendra Singh said, in his last six years as MP, there has not been a single week when he did not spend two to three days every week in the constituency. Since the constituency is too large, he said, he made a roster for himself to visit every area by rotation.

He said, today’s virtual meeting will be followed up by regular interactions with people from the constituency living in Delhi NCR and added that they were free to contact his office in case of any need.
Dr Jitendra Singh called upon youth professionals residing in Delhi to motivate their peers and counterparts in Jammu & Kashmir to engage in capacity-building and develop competitive aptitude in order to avail of the opportunities unfolding after abrogation of Article 370 and setting up Union Territory.
In keeping with the Modi Government’s resolve to provide a level playing field to every youth, Dr Jitendra Singh said, interviews have been abolished in the recruitment process in order to check malpractices and 10,000 jobs have been notified. He said, heavy industrial investments from all over the country are in pipeline which got delayed due to pandemic and lockdown, but as soon as these start arriving, there will be a boom for revenue generation and job creation.
