Srinagar: The Jammu and Kashmir National Conference President Dr Farooq Abdullah stated that the restoration of promised statehood to Jammu and Kashmir will give momentum to the ongoing development activities in the region and help the democratically elected govt in elevating the suffering of masses.
During his interactions with the public and various delegations at his residence in Jammu, the party president was informed about the significant improvements on the ground since the elected government, led by Omar Abdullah, was restored. The delegations highlighted how the administration has become more responsive and attentive to public concerns, with people now easily reaching out to the Secretariats in Jammu and Srinagar. They also raised long-standing issues that have worsened over the years due to the lack of a democratic government.
The party’s Provincial President Jammu Rattan Lal Gupta was also present on the occasion.
Dr. Farooq further said the winds of change that have brought a democratic government to the region, with Omar sahib at the helm steering us towards safer shores will work for every section of society, ensuring the benefits of progress reach every doorstep. “The signs of change are clear, and development is on the rise, poised to accelerate once statehood is restored. I am confident that the GOI will uphold its promise and grant full statehood, paving the way for rapid progress.”
The delegations had come from Reasi, Akhnoor, Udhampur, Jammu.
