SRINAGAR: Residents of Bagh-e-Yas in Chattabal now have a new community centre, with the Srinagar Development Authority (SDA) constructing the facility for Rs 2.37 crore.
The newly built Community Hall was inaugurated on Monday, providing residents with a dedicated space for community gatherings and local activities.
Furniture for the hall will also be provided through the Constituency Development Fund (CDF) of Habba Kadal MLA and Jammu and Kashmir National Conference State Women’s Wing President Shamima Firdous.
The inauguration was preceded by an Awami Darbar at the venue, where residents raised a range of issues concerning basic amenities and infrastructure in the area.
Among the key demands put forward by residents were the development of a park, establishment of a fire station, improvement in electricity supply and setting up of a dispensary.
The demands highlighted the need for strengthening essential public services alongside the newly created community infrastructure in the locality.
Interacting with residents, Firdous said the Jammu and Kashmir National Conference remained committed to fulfilling the promises made in its election manifesto and ensuring that development reaches all sections of society.
She assured residents that their genuine demands would be taken up with the concerned authorities and pursued for resolution in a phased and timely manner.
The community centre is expected to provide Bagh-e-Yas residents with a dedicated public facility, while the demands raised during the Awami Darbar put the focus on the wider infrastructure and public-service needs of the locality.
