Srinagar: Union Home Minister Amit Shah is expected to announce the regularisation of hundreds of daily wagers whose future has been in the lurch for over three decades.
All security arrangements are in place for Shah’s Baramulla public rally which is his first such exercise in the Valley after the abrogation of Article 370.
A large number of people from different parts of Baramulla, Uri, Handwara, Tengdhar, Trehgam, and other places have already reached Baramulla to attend the rally.
After he addressed a historic public rally in Rajouri on Tuesday, where he assured reservations to the Pahari community of the UT, Shah is likely to announce the regularisation of hundreds of daily wagers in J&K whose future is in the lurch because successive governments in the state promised them permanent jobs without any results.
Shah chaired the core group meeting of the BJP on Tuesday where he told the party leaders to gear up for the Assembly elections which would be held soon.
He enjoined upon the party leaders to carry the Prime Minister’s message of a new, progressive J&K to the voters.
“After the Centre did so much for every section of the local society, it is now the duty of the people to vote in large numbers to strengthen democracy in J&K,” he told the BJP core group meeting.
He is also scheduled to inaugurate many developmental projects, including the hydraulic entry and exit gates of the spill channel in the World famous Hokersar wetland bird reserve.
He will also inaugurate 15 water supply schemes under the Jal Jeevan mission, 94 roads of 580.92 km length, 7 power transmission projects, a new building of a sub-district hospital in the Hazratbal area of Srinagar city, 11 urban development projects in Kashmir division, 74 roads with 434.37 km length and 7 bridges, 20 power distribution/transmission projects, in patients block in sub-district hospital Bijbehara, transit accommodation (864 BHK) at Baba Daryadin in Ganderbal, Allowpora in Shopian and Odina in Sumbal Bandipora.
He will also chair a high-level security review meeting in Srinagar before he leaves for New Delhi in the evening.
