There are massive works that need to be executed sans delay and repair the public infrastructure which was damaged during the occurrence of September 2014 floods,” Samoon said, adding that he would tour to different parts of Kashmir valley atleast twice in a week besides holding frequent meetings at the district levels.
Samoon, who was posted as the divisional commissioner of Kashmir on Monday, said the establishment would put its tireless efforts in putting Kashmir back on gear.
