• Addresses public grievances, reviews ongoing development projects, engages with residents directly

JANUARY: Member Legislative Assembly Gulabgarh visited areas in Block Chassana, including Sarsote, Malokote, Shergari, Baggan, Singlikote, Laber, and Tundagarh, where he held interactive sessions with the public and inspected various developmental initiatives. During the visit to Sarsote, Er Khurshied Ahmed personally inspected the progress of work on the Sarsote Bridge.

The MLA expressed satisfaction over the pace of the work. However he emphasised the importance of adhering to timelines and maintaining quality standards. He assured residents that the project remains a top priority and will be completed at the earliest to ease transportation challenges faced by the local population. Another significant milestone achieved during the visit was the official launch of the survey for the road connecting Sarsote to Sheri.
