Addressing public gatherings, after inaugurating Rs 40 lakh Community Centre cum Panchayat Ghar at Badipora and Rs 6 cr. two lane Sogam-Badopora bridge in district Budgam, Rather said that provision of all the basic facilities to the people at their door steps with equal opportunities of development and justice to all is mission of his life adding that no stone would be left unturned to come up to the expectations of the people. He said he has with utmost honesty and obligation put in every possible effort continuously since last 37 years to uplift the living standard of the people of this socially and educationally backward constituency adding that Chrar-i-Sharief is perhaps, the first hilly and kandi constituency of the state which has almost 100 per cent road connectivity with highest number of medium and major bridges, adequate number of Health centres and a wide network of educational institutions comprising government colleges, higher and high schools.
