KATHUA, Aug 1: The Jammu and Kashmir National Conference (JKNC) held a workers meeting of district Kathua at Bani in view of upcoming rallies of Omar Abdullah party vice president and former Chief Minister in Nagri Parole (Kathua) and Bani.

Shan highlighted the pressing issues faced by the residents of far-flung areas in Kathua district, especially the challenges related to unemployment, ration, power, and water supply, roads which have worsened during the monsoon season. He expressed concerns over the Government’s neglect of these remote areas and the lack of major earning sources for the people.
Addressing the meeting, Sadhotra strongly criticized the BJP for its inability to meet the needs of the people. He underscored the growing dissatisfaction and distress among the population due to these issues. He noted that this growing sense of disenchantment is palpable across communities, reflecting a broader discontent with the current administration’s handling of such issues.
The senior NC leader said that BJP’s decision to bifurcate Jammu and Kashmir State into two Union Territories, which, he argued, has resulted in severe unemployment and inadequate basic services. He highlighted the increasing public anxiety due to escalating terror activities across the Jammu region. He asked the people to support the Party in the ensuing Assembly polls and assured that the National Conference will form the next Government in Jammu and Kashmir.
Provincial president, Rattan Lal Gupta, emphasized the significance of the rallies of the party beginning from the Gurah Slathia in district Samba which he termed as the proud land of great warriors. He explained that such rallies are designed to bring about substantial changes in governance, with the aim of addressing the pressing needs of the people. He noted that the people has high expectations from the National Conference, which is evident from the anticipation surrounding the upcoming rallies of Omar Abdullah in Nagri Parole (Kathua) and Bani on Aug 7 and 8.
