SRINAGAR: Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha dedicated the 34th edition of the ‘Awaam Ki Awaaz’ programme to the citizens of Jammu and Kashmir for their historic participation in ‘Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra’.
“Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra, a powerful Jan-Abhiyan initiative to reach out to the vulnerable section of society will create a new future for developed India,” the Lt Governor observed.
He said the participation of 40 lakh citizens of Jammu Kashmir so far in this journey has laid a strong foundation for progress in both rural and urban areas of the Union Territory. “I am confident that the Janbhagidari and the healthy competition among the districts will continue to take the extraordinary journey of J&K UT forward on the path of prosperity and inclusive development.”
He commended the ‘No Helmet No Petrol’, a road safety campaign by District Administration Anantnag and Petroleum Dealer Association.
Highlighting the efforts of the UT Administration to facilitate the creation of amenities for tourists in rural and far-off areas, the Lt Governor said the recent surge in the registrations for homestays shows immense potential of offbeat tourist destinations.
He called upon the people living in rural and border areas to take advantage of this opportunity and assured every support from the administration to them.
He directed the concerned departments to take immediate and appropriate action on the valuable inputs received from the citizens.
