JAMMU: Ch. Vikram Randhawa, MLA from Bahu Assembly Constituency, held a public grievances camp at the party headquarters, Trikuta Nagar, Jammu. Among the prominent delegations, residents of Sector-3 Nanak Nagar and Arjun Vihar highlighted the pressing problem of damaged lanes and drains in their localities. Representatives from Gole Market and Talab Market, Channi, raised the issue of continuous leakage from water supply pipes along the main road, causing inconvenience to commuters and traders alike.

A deputation from Gandhi Nagar sought compassionate appointment in a pending case, while residents from Hajipora requested regular supply of water tankers to meet their needs. Another deputation from Nanak Nagar urged the MLA to facilitate an e-bus route connecting Panjtirthi to Preet Nagar and Nanak Nagar. Citizens from Railway Fatak Sector-3 also complained about frequent theft of iron gratings.

Randhawa patiently listened to each concern and assured the delegations of timely redressal. He immediately contacted relevant officials on several matters and, in a number of cases, issued written directions on the spot to ensure prompt follow-up.

Addressing the gathering, Ch. Randhawa emphasized that the Bharatiya Janata Party stands firmly as a people-centric organization. He said that for BJP, public service is not just a responsibility but our core value. He said that these grievance camps strengthen the bridge between the people and their elected representatives by providing a direct channel for communication. He added that when citizens place their trust in us by sharing their concerns, it becomes their duty to respond with seriousness and urgency. The BJP believes in solving problems on the ground rather than making promises on paper, he said.

Vikram Randhawa further stressed that the party draws its strength from active public engagement, and this responsiveness is central to the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who has given the mantra of inclusive growth and collective progress.

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