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. A large number of deputations from various areas of Jammu participated in the darbar and raised issues concerning civic amenities, infrastructure, and public services.

Citizens from Nanak Nagar submitted two grievances, one about lane and drain construction and the other regarding an excessively high electricity bill.

In several instances, he issued written instructions to ensure timely action. He assured the public that the BJP stands committed to resolving people’s problems promptly and effectively. Speaking on the occasion, Ch. Vikram Randhawa said that the BJP believes in the politics of accountability and service. He termed the BJP and the party leaders as a bridge between the people and the administration.

“Today’s Public Darbar was aimed at listening to the common man and taking immediate steps to resolve their concerns. I am personally monitoring the follow-up action on each grievance raised here. Our mission is to ensure that the voice of every citizen is heard and addressed", said Vikram Randhawa. 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.
