KISHTWAR, Nov 12: Senior Congress leader and former minister GM Saroori today called for timely redressal of public grievances, specially in Inderwal constituency of Kishtwar district.
Saroori paid an extensive tour of Balgran, Nali, Patnazi, and Burdhar areas of district Kishtwar, and met hundreds of residents, listened to their grievances, and took stock of developmental activities and infrastructural gaps in the region. He interacted with people from different walks of life who apprised him of pressing issues related to electricity supply, ration distribution, water scarcity, road connectivity, and shortage of teaching staff in schools. The locals informed him that the delay in ration delivery and the absence of adequate staff in educational institutions have been causing hardships to the general public.
Listening patiently to the people’s concerns, Saroori assured them that all genuine grievances would be taken up with the concerned authorities for early redressal. He emphasized that the Congress Party has always stood for equitable development and inclusive growth, particularly focusing on far-flung, hilly, and neglected regions like these.
Expressing serious concern over the sluggish pace of certain developmental works, Saroori urged the district administration to expedite all pending projects under PMGSY, R&B and PDD. He pointed out that the grid station project in the area has remained incomplete for over a decade, resulting in frequent power interruptions. He called upon the authorities to prioritize the completion of this vital infrastructure project to ensure uninterrupted electricity supply to the people.
Saroori observed that the Government must ensure timely delivery of basic amenities like roads, water, healthcare, and education in rural and remote belts of the district. “Development should not remain confined to files and announcements; it must be visible on the ground,” he remarked.
Congress leader asked the party workers in the area intensify their outreach among the people, remain connected with their day-to-day issues, and work with dedication for their welfare.
