Later, Kavinder took stock of the problems being faced by the people in Gadigarh area including de-silting of Nallah, pension cases, ration, etc.
After listening to people’s plight, Kavinder agreed to take their issues to the concerned quarters for early redressal. He also appealed to people to extend full support to BJP for all round development and better future of J&K.
Prominent among those who were present include Baldev Billawaria, Deputy Mayor, Vinay Gupta, Sham Langer, Narinder Koki, Pitamber Sharma and local residents.
