Lauds CM Omar Abdullah for continued support towards Srinagar’s development
Srinagar, 24 May: The Jammu and Kashmir National Conference Chief Spokesperson and MLA Zadibal Tanvir Sadiq today released the first instalment of constituency development funds (CDF) amounting to ₹3.45 crore for various works across the Zadibal constituency after completing extensive all Halqa meetings throughout the constituency.
The funds have been earmarked for development and upgradation of parks, sports facilities, Library, Bus stops, culverts, assistance to fire victims, transformers, roads, drains, beautification projects, and calligraphic landmark gates.
Speaking in Rainawari Halqa on the occasion, Tanvir said that the purpose of conducting meetings at the grassroots level was to personally reach the doorsteps of the people, take direct feedback, and understand the priorities and pressing issues of every locality on the spot.
He stated that this approach has helped in identifying genuine public concerns and ensuring that development works are carried out according to the actual needs of the people.
Tanvir stressed that locals must actively monitor the quality of works being executed in their areas and immediately bring any shortcomings or irregularities to his notice so that corrective measures can be taken without delay.
He reiterated that although Zadibal is areawise and population-wise is one of the biggest constituencies, he remains committed to transforming it into one of the best developed constituencies in Jammu and Kashmir.
Highlighting ongoing landmark projects, Tanvir said that iconic calligraphic gates are under progress at several important locations including Bab-ul-Salam and Bab-ul-Noor at Hazratbal Dargah, Panjthan at Main Chowk Alamgiri Bazar, Bab-ul-Zahra at Gasiyar Chowk, Bab-ul-Sultan-ul-Arifeen at Rainawari Chowk, Khwaja Habibullah Nowshera (RA) at Nalbal, Mirza Kamil Sahib Chowk, and Bagh Ali Mardan Khan.
He further stated that major sports infrastructure projects at GHSS Shri Bhat, Soura, and Boys School will be completed during the current year. He also announced that the long-awaited Public Health Engineering Centre at Zadibal is in its final stage, and the foundation stone will be laid very soon.
Tanvir assured the people that sports grounds at Lal Bazar, Mir Behri, Waris Khan, Botachawni, and Anar Bagh will also be developed this year.
Addressing the issue of space constraints in urban areas, he said that two community halls at Jogi Lanker and Bagwanpora are already under progress, while four new community halls are being initiated shortly at Gulshan Bagh and Kokerbagh areas.
He also announced that the much-awaited road from Moti Mohalla to Kani Kachi will be started soon to ease public movement in the interior Dal areas. Referring to the recently completed Karam Shah Bridge, he said that the project has already provided major relief to the residents of interior Dal. He said that he is working tirelessly for the grant of a tourist village to Mir Behri Dal and will get that approved this year.
Tanvir further stated that all Shikara ghats will be renovated and several major demands of houseboat owners are under active consideration. He added that drainage projects in Vicharnag and adjoining areas are being expedited, while major road widening projects at Nowshera, Soura, Akmal Bridge, Devi Angan, and Hawal are currently under process.
He also said that the main chowk of Alamgiri Bazar will soon be decongested as the final stages of land acquisition have already been completed.
In his concluding remarks, Tanvir thanked Omar Abdullah for his continued support towards the development of Srinagar and Zadibal. He also expressed gratitude to the people for their faith, patience, and support, and vowed to continue working tirelessly for the welfare and betterment of the people of Zadibal.
