Chadoora, July 20: Prominent Political figure Zaffer Mir (Lasjan) on Thursday embarked on an extensive tour of the Chadoora constituency in an effort to connect with the people and review arrangements for the upcoming Muharram.
During his visit, he actively engaged with the public, listened to their grievances and assured them of his commitment to finding solutions for their pressing concerns.
At the Imambarah of Chattergam, citizens expressed their discontent with the current Muharram arrangements. Promptly acknowledging their grievances, Zaffer conveyed the issues to the SDM Chadoora and Tehsil Magistrate, advocating for improving the arrangements to ensure a smooth observance of the religious gatherings.
In response to Zaffer’s request, Teshildar BK Pora promptly visited SK Bagh to address the highlighted issues raised by Zaffer and his team, demonstrating the influence and impact of political leaders in advocating for their constituents.
Zaffer also visited Suthsoo-Kalan, Malik Gund, and S.K Bagh, where he continued to interact with the people. Displaying patience and attentiveness, he listened to their concerns and promised to bring them to the attention of the administration for timely resolution.
Addressing the public at various locations, Zaffer emphasized the need to prioritize issues related to Muharram at the earliest. He assured the public that after the gatherings, he would diligently work with the administration to tackle other pending matters.
During his interactions, Zaffer revealed that he has already submitted a request to allow a procession in Srinagar city for this year’s Muharram.
Expressing optimism, he said that the LG administration will hopefully grant the necessary permissions, respecting the community’s religious sentiments.
One notable issue brought to Zaffer’s attention was the alleged neglect of the ward falling under Halqa of Dooniwara. Residents of Malik Gund expressed their dissatisfaction, claiming that no funds have been allocated to the ward for the past decade due to the dominance of the NC’s former MLA, who allegedly redirected funds to his own hometown.
Additionally, the absence of basic amenities and facilities in their ward was a cause for concern for the people residing in Halka Dooniwara. It was pointed out that the daughter-in-law of the NC’s former MLA/MLC is also the DDC member of erstwhile PAGD.
Zaffer’s commitment to the well-being of the community was further showcased when he, along with senior political leader Ghulam Nabi Mir (Lasjan), personally visited the family of late Adv. Gh Mohidin Hakim at Zolva, Gopalpora Chadoora, to offer their condolences.
Zaffer’s tour has not only brought attention to Muharram arrangements but also shed light on the pressing concerns and issues faced by the residents of Chadoora.
