The MLA conducted a thorough inspection of the site and issued strict instructions to the Department to maintain the highest quality of work. He emphasized that the project must be completed within the stipulated timeframe to ensure that farmers do not face any hurdles during the peak irrigation season.
Addressing a large gathering of locals and farmers at the venue, Dr. Rajeev reiterated his commitment to transforming Bishnah into a “Model constituency.” “The prosperity of our region lies in the strength of our agricultural sector. By upgrading this canal, we are not just laying concrete; we are securing the livelihoods of hundreds of families. My focus is to provide every village with urban-level infrastructure, starting with the basic needs of our farmers,” the MLA stated.
