On the occasion, about a dozen prominent political workers from various parties joined the National conference in Ukharhal. Welcoming the new entrants into the party fold, the district president said that the NC is the only party having its presence in every nook and corner of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh. “It stands for satiating the urges and aspirations of the people, irrespective of caste, creed, colour and region,” he added.
