Jammu,10/Dec/2018; Dr. Shazad Malik, Vice Chancellor of Sai Nath
University and native of district Poonch while congratulating the
newly elected panches and sarpanches of twin district of Rajouri and
Poonch have also appealed them to join hands together and initiate a
new era of development in these two districts that have not only been
neglected by the successive governments from Srinagar and Jammu
but also by their own elected former representatives.
Dr. Shazad said that huge polling percentage during Panchayat and municipal elections in border districts have proved that people living
there believe in democracy and peace.
The VC said that it is so
appreciable that this time the people of state in general and of Rajouri
and Poonch in particular elected young and educated youth which is
again a good signal that now people choose community leaders not
on the basis of political affiliation and ideology but choose them on
merit of individual candidate.
The VC also informed that soon he would
hold interactions with all elected members of panchayats and
urban local bodies of remote and border areas of Rajouri and Poonch
as these two grass root level democratic institutions are very essential
for overall development of the state.
