Addressing public meetings at Kuriya, Dadpeth, Mugalmaidan, Chatroo and Chingam areas of sub-division Chatroo.

Saroori alleged that PDP led Government was unable to fulfill their promises to the people of the State. “Why Mehbooba Mufti should apologize to Kashmiris, Chenab and Pir Panchal regions for not being able to fulfill her promises which she has made with people and had argued that BJP being in power at the Centre can accommodate grievances of Jammu and Kashmir at developmental front much better,” Saroori said.
MLA Inderwal appealed all political, social, trade and other organizations to form a joint strategy to force government to establish IIT and IIM in Chenab and Pir Panchal regions. Congress Party is committed for equitable development of all the three region.
