SRINAGAR, JULY 23: A meeting of all local heads of various departments was convened and chaired by the Chairperson of J&K Waqf Board, Dr. Syed Darakhshan Andrabi, today to assess the development activities and implementation of centrally sponsored schemes in the tribal area of Gurez.
All heads of departments and designated representatives from various offices participated in the meeting. In addition, former legislator Faqir Mohammad Khan and DDC representative Aijaz Khan were also present. Dr. Andrabi sought details about the progress in different developmental works and assessed the facilities provided to the people.
She also learned about the implementation of centrally sponsored schemes and other welfare programs of the central government and UT administration. Dr. Darakhshan stressed upon the departmental heads to ensure that the people don’t face difficulty in approaching government offices for redressal of their problems.
“The tribal population of J&K received many benefits and facilities after the implementation of central tribal welfare laws and programs, and it is our collective responsibility to facilitate every eligible person to benefit properly. As envisioned by the PM, we have to take the welfare systems to the doorsteps of every citizen. The LG administration has prioritized tribal welfare in J&K,” said Dr. Andrabi.
She stressed upon the government servants working in this remote area to ensure punctuality and dedication in serving the people in their border valley, as the geography poses many challenges to the people here.
“The holistic, environmentally friendly development of these areas is our shared responsibility, and we need to rededicate ourselves to the service of these peace-loving and hardworking people so that their lives are improved and ease of living for all is guaranteed.”
