Jammu, December 11

In what could be described as one of the longest public interactions over decades, Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti met deputations and disposed of complaints till 1.30 am in Doda today.

The grievance redress camp started at 10.30 am on Sunday and continued till late in the night. The last deputation, which had come from the Palmas area of Doda, met the Chief Minister around 1.40 am. The deputation demanded construction of a footpath and connecting the area with the circular road of the town.

Moved by their plight, the Chief Minister announced release of Rs 15 lakh for the construction of the footpath and extension of the electricity and drinking water facilities to them.

During the 15-hour-long public outreach programme, around 100 deputations met the Chief Minister. Given the large number of people and their demands, the programme continued past midnight making it one of the longest interactions in the state in so many decades.

Meanwhile, the Chief Minister announced release of Rs 25 lakh for procuring a digital X-ray for District Hospital, Doda, and Rs 20 lakh for completing the remaining work on the stadium in the town.
