BUDGAM: Deputy Commissioner (DC) Budgam, today Athar Aamir Khan chaired a Mega Public Darbar at Parnewa Budgam, reaffirming the administration’s commitment towards responsive and people-centric governance.
The Public Darbar witnessed an overwhelming response, with large participation from Parnewa and adjoining Halqas including Kremshore, Dreygam, Bugroo, Palpora, Havoora, Wager, and Shuru. The event provided a direct and effective platform for the public to engage with the administration and raise their concerns regarding developmental and civic issues.
Accompanied by a team of district and sectoral officers, the DC patiently heard grievances and demands from various delegations and individuals. The interaction continued for several hours, ensuring that every representation was given due attention.
During the Darbar, the residents submitted memorandums highlighting several pressing issues crucial for the socio-economic development of the area.

Responding to the concerns, the DC emphasized that Public Darbars are aimed at bridging the gap between the administration and the people, enabling prompt and effective grievance redressal. He assured the public that all genuine issues raised during the Darbar have been duly noted and will be addressed in a time-bound manner.
