BARAMULLA/JAMMU: Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Girish Chandra Murmu on Wednesday said the Government was committed to empower grass-roots institutions in the Union Territory.

The Government is working to effectively implement 73rd and 74th Amendments of the Panchayati Raj Act to empower Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs), which will further strengthen the democratic set up at the grass-roots level, he said.
