People living in International Border areas in J&K provided development with dignity: Dr. Jitendra Singh

Jammu
January 16, 2021

Union Minister Dr. Jitendra Singh on Friday said the Government has provided development with dignity to the people living along the International Border (IB) and this was visible in the form of individual bunkers and 1,000 modern toilets coming up in these areas. He also said 4% reservation has also been provided to the youth living along the IB.

Describing the recently held District Development Council (DDC) election in Jammu and Kashmir as a turning point in the history of the Union Territory, Singh said the new councilors are blessed to be the face of this new chapter of history, which offers them a huge opportunity to perform and prove themselves.

"In the absence of a three-tier grassroot democracy, there was a missing link between the Member of Parliament and the grassroot inhabitants for which an extra effort was required always. "But now with a systematic arrangement in place, the unattended local issues will also receive attention," said Singh, the Minister of State for Personnel.

Singh called upon the District Development Councilors to work hard with honesty and sincerity. He said all the public works cannot be accomplished simultaneously but our voter should be convinced that we are working for him selflessly and to the best of our ability and potential and without any selfish interest.
