During the meeting, participants raised several public issues, including concerns related to transport, electricity, road infrastructure, and drinking water supply. SSP Budgam assured the attendees that genuine concerns will be taken up with the relevant authorities for immediate redressal, while police-related matters will be resolved at the earliest.
While addressing the gathering, SSP Budgam emphasized the importance of strengthening police-public relations and urged the community to cooperate with law enforcement in eliminating crime and social evils from society. The participants appreciated the police’s efforts in facilitating community engagement and assured their full support in maintaining law and order.
