He underlined the importance of enhanced coordination between elected representatives and party workers, calling for daily interaction to ensure that the organization remains responsive, united, and people-centric.

During the meeting, MLAs also discussed the issues related to their particular assembly constituencies besides taking up and discussing the broader issues concerning whole of Jammu and Kashmir.
