JAMMU: Senior BJP leader and MLA from Bahu Assembly Constituency, Ch. Vikram Randhawa, held a Public Darbar at the BJP Headquarters, Trikuta Nagar, Jammu, to address the public grievances.

The Public Darbar witnessed participation from a large number of deputations representing areas including Nanak Nagar, Bhore Camp, Chinore, Gangyal, Adarsh Enclave, Gangyal Garden, Trikuta Nagar, Deep Nagar, Karan Bagh, Extension Trikuta Nagar, Bandhurakh, and Ekta Vihar. Residents raised issues related to the Revenue Department, leaking PHE pipelines, water scarcity, urgent need for upgradation of lanes and drains, frequent power cuts, transformer replacement, installation of electric poles and lights, clearance of clogged drains, and reconstruction of damaged public infrastructure.

Ch. Randhawa gave a patient hearing to all deputations and assured them of swift redressal. He promptly conveyed several of the grievances to the concerned department officials and pressed for early resolution. In many cases, he also issued written instructions on the spot to initiate necessary action.

Speaking on the occasion, Ch. Vikram Randhawa said, “The Bharatiya Janata Party is committed to ensuring the equitable development of all regions of Jammu & Kashmir. As a representative of the Bahu Assembly Constituency, I consider it my foremost duty to remain accessible to the people and ensure their problems are addressed without delay.” He further added, “Public grievance redressal is an essential pillar of good governance. I will continue to work with utmost dedication to resolve all pending civic issues in my constituency and across Jammu.”

The event was coordinated by Er. T.K. Sharma, Co-convenor of the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, J&K BJP, who facilitated smooth interaction between the public and the party leadership.
