 While addressing the meeting Abid Margrey highlighted the acute problem of unemployment in the region, stating that despite the presence of several national projects in the district, local youth are being neglected when it comes to job opportunities.

Tejinder acknowledged the issues raised by the district unit and assured that the party is aware of the hardships faced by people living in hilly areas, especially in terms of employment, healthcare, and infrastructure.

He further assured the gathering that he will take up all these issues with the Party High Command for appropriate redressal and policy attention.
