He said these should be made the hallmark of all projects not only in Jammu district but across the Union Territory.
The DDC Chairman while interacting with the people in the area, took stock of their problems and issues. They highlighted various issues related to drinking water, power supply, health care, etc and sought redressal of the same.
Bharat Bhushan listened patiently to them and assured to take up the issues with the concerned authorities.

He assured that besides development of the area he will ensure that the benefits of various schemes meant for the socio-economic upliftment of the poor and needy reach the doorsteps of the people in the rural area.
He said only then we can say that the objective of good governance has been achieved.
