He said that the government in J&K has adopted a fast and reliable policy to ensure best modern amenities to the people without any hassle or hurdle.
Meanwhile, Kavinder Gupta also participated in the Meri Matti Mera Desh programme which was concluded here today at Lakshmi Narayan Mandir, Gandhi Nagar Jammu.
He highlighted that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, this campaign involved collecting soil from the homes, surroundings, statues, and memorials of martyrs at various locations across the nation, including Jammu & Kashmir. This soil will contribute to the creation of 'Amrit Vatika' in front of Rashtrapati Bhawan on 'Kartavya Path' (formerly known as Rajpath).
The senior BJP leader emphasized that these initiatives, conducted under the slogan "Mitti Ko Naman, Veeron Ka Vandan," aim to celebrate 77 years of Indian Independence. He noted that Kalash Yatras, transporting soil in 7500 urns, including those collected from Jammu and Kashmir, will ultimately reach the nation's capital, Delhi, to merge with the soil at 'Amrit Vatika.'
Kavinder expressed gratitude to the people of Jammu and Kashmir for making the Meri Matti Mera Desh campaign successful in the Union Territory.(KNS)
