While addressing the gatherings, Saroori highlighted the developmental works initiated by him as MLA of Inderwal constituency since 2002.
“I got a number of bridges, culverts and roads constructed, thus connecting the different villages of the area with each other which is the prime necessity for the development of the area,” he said adding that electrification of villages was done by getting a number of electric poles and transformers installed and upgraded. Adequate water supply was also made available to the people of the area by laying pipes, installing hand pumps and number of tube wells constructed and got functional to augment the need of drinking water in the area, he added.
Saroori appealed the people to use their franchise keeping in view the development of area and benefit of common man, and requested them to cast their valuable votes in his favour on November 25 for prestige, dignity and self respect.
Saroori exhorted the party workers to make people aware of the communal groups, their evil designs and mechanism adopted for dividing people on caste and religion basis. These communal forces try to create a wedge between Hindu and Muslim communities only to reach corridors of power. But the people this time shall teach such forces and groups a lesson and vote only for growth and development of this State as well as the Chenab valley region, Saroori stated.
