JAMMU, June 30: Member Legislative Assembly (MLA) Vijaypur and senior vice president, National Conference (NC) Surjeet Singh Slathia convened a meeting of NC delegates which include Panchs and Sarpanchs at Bari Brahmana.
Slathia highlighted the developmental plank of NC led Government in J&K, saying infrastructural up-gradation has been flagged off to improve the living standard of people.
He added developmental transformation will be meaningless unless its benefits reach rural and far off areas.
“Omar led Government has accorded top priority to involve local population in the development effort”, he said while referring to the establishment of Panchayati Raj institutions to seek greater participation of the rural population in decision making.
He described the Panchayat elections as historic initiative of the present Government, saying these have institutionalized rural development on sustained basis.
Slathia also made a mention of administrative units and said these will go long way in mitigating the problems of the people, as administration will be virtually at their door steps.
He said that the NC is having dedicated and devoted cadre base party which has been continuously fighting for the cause of the solidarity, integrity and dignity of the people of the State.
Among others who spoke were Raman Gupta, Bhagwan Singh, Vijay Singh, Karam Chand, Rampal Sharma, Sadiq Malik, Ghulam Nabi, Mohinder Gupta and Manohar Lal Gupta.
