Vikram Randhawa said, “The Bharatiya Janata Party is deeply committed to the holistic development of Jammu & Kashmir and solving the issues of the common man at the ground level. Our public darbars are a direct bridge between people and administration. We believe that a government must be accessible, accountable, and sensitive to the needs of every citizen. Every issue brought to our notice today will be taken up with the concerned departments, and we will follow up until they are resolved.”
