Omar Abdullah Recalls His Bond with Beerwah

The Chief Minister said he shared a special bond with the Beerwah Assembly constituency and continued to value the trust and support voters had shown him in the 2014 elections.

Recalling his commitment to the people, he said he had promised to remain grateful for their support throughout his life and continue working to honour their trust.

Bridge Reconstruction Among Key Public Demands

During the visit, one project was inaugurated, while foundation stones were laid for five additional projects. Together, the six projects are expected to support development across different parts of the constituency.
