JAMMU: Yudhvir Sethi, vice-president, J&K BJP and MLA Jammu East and Surinder Bhagat, MLA Marh listened to the public grievances in a public darbar held at BJP Headquarters, Trikuta Nagar, Jammu. Scores of deputations hailing from different areas of Jammu and surrounding districts visited BJP headquarters and presented their grievances in front of BJP MLAs.

Deputations presented the public issues like construction and repair of lanes and drains, repair and installation of street lights, issue related to Revenue Department, concern for erratic water supply etc. The BJP leaders listened patiently and attentively, resolving several grievances on the spot by directly engaging with concerned departmental officials through both oral communication and written instructions.

While attending committedly to the issues put forth by the public, Yudhvir Sethi reiterated the BJP’s commitment to serve the people beyond political slogans. “Despite being out of power in Jammu and Kashmir, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) continues to assert its commitment to the region’s development and welfare. The party actively supports central government schemes, facilitates infrastructure projects, and pushes for employment and social welfare programs”, said Yudhvir Sethi.

Surinder Bhagat said that the public darbar reflected the BJP's proactive approach in ensuring transparency, accountability, and direct communication between the public and their elected representatives. He, on the occasion, also reaffirmed the party’s dedication to public service and urged people to actively participate in such interactive platforms.
