Apni Party holds provincial-level meeting to evaluate public grievances and discuss party affairs

Srinagar, March 30 (KNS): Apni Party Senior Vice President Ghulam Hassan Mir on Thursday said that the administration seems to be failing to address important public issues even in the ongoing holy month of Ramzan.

According to a press note issued here, Mr. Mir was addressing party’s provincial level meeting, which was attended by the party’s  senior leaders, district presidents, constituency in charges, and zonal presidents from across the Valley.

The participants of the meeting, presided over by Mir, had deliberations over public issues and grievances, and discussed certain party matters and outlined a strategy to strengthen the party further in all the districts of the Valley, the press note said.

Giving feedback about the public issues and grievances, the participants said that Govt has failed to address the problems that the people are grappling with these days.

On this occasion, Ghulam Hassan Mir said that the administration seems to be failing to address important public issues.

He said, “It is sad to see that people do not get a continuous power supply even at the Sehri and Iftar hours in many areas. Since people have to fulfil certain special religious obligations during the month of Ramzan, the administration was supposed to ensure an uninterrupted power supply to the consumers in these days. Similarly, the administration has failed to intensify the market checking to put a check on black marketers and hoarders during this holy month.”

“The complaints pouring in from various areas suggest that the authorities are unconcerned about these important public issues.” He added.

He further said, “Also, the farmers across the Valley are facing difficulties due to the shortage of fertilizer. One fails to understand, why the administration does not take the required steps to ensure the availability of fertilizer in the markets in Kashmir.”

Ghulam Hassan Mir requested Lieutenant Governor (LG) Shiri Manoj Sinha to make a personal intervention for the swift redressal of these public issues.

 He said, “I request Shiri Manoj Sinha ji to look into the matter personally to make sure all these issues are resolved as soon as possible.”

Meanwhile, the participants of the meeting also had thorough discussions over certain party matters. They also decided to enhance the public outreach campaign to strengthen the party further in far-flung areas across the Valley.

Besides Mr. Mir, the prominent party leaders who were present on the occasion included Vice President Zafar Iqbal Manhas, Vice President Javaid Mustafa Mir, Chief Spokesperson Javaid Hassan Beigh, General Secretary Rafi Ahmad Mir, Additional General Secretary Hilal Ahmad Shah, Provincial President, Kashmir, Mohammad Ashraf Mir, President of the party's Youth Wing and Mayor SMC Junaid Azim Mattu, Senior Leader and former legislator Yawar Dilawar Mir, Senior Leader and Chairman DDC Srinagar Aftab Malik, Media Advisor Farooq Andrabi, State Secretary Muntazir Mohiuddin, Provincial President of the party's Women Wing Dilshada Shaheen, District President Srinagar Noor Mohammad Sheikh, District President Anantnag Abdul Rahim Rather, and other senior leaders.(KNS)
