Today, I had the honour of being invited to participate in the mega padyatra under the Nasha Mukt Jammu & Kashmir Abhiyan at Football Stadium, TRC Srinagar. The event was graced by Hon’ble Lieutenant Governor Shri @manojsinha_ as the Chief Guest. It was inspiring to witness the collective commitment of people from all walks of life towards building a drug-free society. Such initiatives are vital in spreading awareness and encouraging our youth to choose a healthy and positive path. Together, we must continue to strengthen this movement for a brighter and safer future for Jammu & Kashmir.

Today, I held a meeting of all workers from Tehsil Keygam at Tukroo, Shopian, to discuss Panchayat elections, and various developmental plans. I was delighted to witness the enthusiastic energy and active participation of the workers.

Today, new workers from different parties from Chotipora, Shopian joined me. They are aligning with my ideology and commitment towards the development of the constituency. I also held a meeting with my workers to discuss organizational matters and future plans for strengthening our outreach in the area.

Today I visited Government Higher Secondary School Ramnagri, Shopian, where I interacted with students to understand their concerns and needs. We discussed key issues and the steps required to improve facilities and the overall learning environment. Later, I also visited NTPHC Ramnagri to review the healthcare services and assess the needs of the local population.

Today visited Govt. Higher Secondary School Vehil, Shopian, interacted with students and staff, and listened to their concerns. Later met locals in the area and also visited Check Amshipora, where I interacted with residents and took note of their issues.

Today, I inaugurated the project titled “Upgradation of Meemander–Khudpora Road up to Aharbal–Sedow, Shopian (Phase I)” at an estimated cost of ₹1.5 crore. This vital road will play a key role in decongesting Shopian town by providing an alternate route, ensuring smoother traffic flow, and improving connectivity for the local population. The second phase of this project is already in the pipeline. I remain committed to strengthening infrastructure and addressing the needs of the people.

Visited Sedow today and listened to the grievances of the people. Held interactions with locals and took note of the issues raised. Assured them that their genuine concerns will be taken up with the concerned authorities for prompt redressal.

Jashn-e-Aamad-e-Bahar was held at Jablipora Mandi, graced by Hon’ble Chief Minister @OmarAbdullah sb . A ₹4.30 crore fruit and vegetable processing centre was inaugurated, benefiting the farming community.

Met with Hon’ble Lieutenant Governor, J&K, Shri @manojsinha_ Sahab at Lok Bhavan, Jammu, and discussed the severe damage caused by the recent hailstorm that affected several areas of District Shopian on 06/04/2026. Emphasized the urgent need for fast-track implementation of crop insurance to ensure timely relief to the affected farmers. Also urged for a one-time relaxation in waiving off KCC loans to ease the financial burden on our farming community during this difficult time. The Hon’ble Lieutenant Governor assured that necessary measures will be taken within a short time to address these concerns and support the affected people. @OfficeOfLGJandK

Today, I met the Hon’ble Chief Minister at Jammu to discuss the extensive damage caused by the recent hailstorm on 06-04-2026, which has severely affected horticulture, especially apple crops, in many areas of Shopian. I raised the urgent issue of bringing apple crops under a comprehensive crop insurance scheme to safeguard our farmers from such recurring losses. I also emphasized the need for providing subsidy on anti-hail nets to protect orchards and ensure long-term resilience for our horticulture sector. Additionally, I urged for a one-time relaxation to waive off KCC loans for distress farmers who have suffered heavy losses due to this calamity. Our farmers deserve timely support and concrete measures to secure their livelihoods. @OmarAbdullah @javidahmaddarjk

I have raised this issue many times in the Assembly regarding the lack of support for apple growers in Kashmir Valley. Despite heavy dependence on horticulture, apple crops are still not covered under crop insurance. Also pointed out that Himachal Pradesh provides subsidies on anti-hail nets, while Jammu and Kashmir does not—despite frequent hailstorm damage. Urged the government to introduce crop insurance and anti-hail net subsidies to protect our farmers. @OmarAbdullah

Under my CDF fund, street lights have been successfully installed from Fruit Mandi Aglar to Four Way, further extending towards Clock Tower, and from Hospital Road up to Bongam Chowk. This was Phase I of the project. This initiative aims to improve visibility, enhance public safety, and facilitate smoother movement for residents, especially during evening hours. I remain committed to ensuring better infrastructure and basic amenities across the area.

Today in the Assembly, I raised my voice on the issue of reservation, highlighting the concerns and aspirations of the people.

Today, during the Assembly session, I raised my starred question regarding the Hospital Development Fund (HDF) and the engagement of medical and supporting staff in District Hospitals. Before 2015, these engagements were being made through HDF on a contractual basis, which played a crucial role in addressing staff shortages and ensuring better healthcare services for the public. However, in 2015, the Government imposed a ban on such engagements, citing concerns over staffing patterns in hospitals. In the House, I strongly highlighted that this decision has adversely affected the functioning of our healthcare institutions, especially at the district level, where there is an acute shortage of manpower. I urged the Government to reconsider and lift the ban, so that Medical Superintendents are empowered to make need-based engagements through HDF, ensuring smooth functioning of hospitals and improved patient care. Access to quality healthcare remains our priority, and I will continue to raise such issues for the welfare of the people.

Today marks an important step towards the transformation of Shopian Town. The Beautification Project of Shopian Town, comprising construction and development of drains, lanes, and street lighting, with an estimated cost of ₹3.20 crore, has been tendered today. This project has materialized due to my continuous personal efforts and persistent follow-up, and it will go a long way in improving civic amenities and the overall outlook of our town. I extend my sincere gratitude and special thanks to CEO MC Shopian, Mr. Suhail Ahmad Malik Sb, for his dedicated support and coordination in taking this project forward. I remain committed to the sustained development and progress of Shopian. @MCShopian
