He condemned the Omar Government for converting Padar, Marwah-Dachhan area into a human serfdom, where there are no roads, no medical facility and no bridges over the river.
He said, “Hydel projects in Kishtwar like Dul-hasti have given no benefit to the people and the creation of district has disappointed the people because there is no delimitation of the Revenue Blocks, Assembly Constituencies or even Panchayats.
