Sopore, Oct, 19: Awami Itihaad Party (AIP) Chief Spokesperson Inam Un Nabi, while addressing a public meeting at Warpora, Sopore, on Monday, expressed concern over the continued neglect of Sopore, stating that despite being part of the ruling dispensation, the area continues to struggle with basic developmental deficiencies.
In a statement, Nabi highlighted the deplorable condition of the Bandipora-Sopore road via Warpora, an important link connecting the two districts and questioned why the vital road continues to remain in poor condition despite its significance for daily commuters, traders, transporters and local residents.
He said the condition of the road reflects the hardships faced by ordinary people, who continue to bear the consequences of inadequate attention to essential infrastructure. He urged the concerned authorities to undertake its comprehensive repair and upgradation on a priority basis.
Inam Un Nabi observed that political representation in the government must translate into visible development and tangible improvements in people’s lives.
Former District Development Council member & North Kashmir Incharge Muzaffar Dar said the continued existence of unresolved civic issues in Sopore raises serious questions about the attention being given to the town’s developmental requirements.
AIP General Secretary Prince Parveez raised concerns over the lack of public parks and recreational facilities in Sopore despite the availability of land. He said public spaces are essential for the well-being of children, elderly citizens and families and called for available land to be utilised for creating parks and other recreational facilities.
