AIP vows to fight for Sopore's district status: Inam Un Nabi

Srinagar, Dec 7: Awami Itihaad Party (AIP) Chief Spokesperson Inam Un Nabi on Sunday visited Sopore and addressed a workers’ meeting, reaffirming the party’s commitment to securing district status for Sopore, a long-pending demand of its residents.

General Secretary Prince Parveez, DDC Muzaffar Dar, Prof. Naseer Ahmad Rather, Mohammad Iqbal Wani, Mohammad Auqib Rashid, M. Shafi Wani, Tariq Ahmad Wani, Syed Uzair, Javeed Ahmad Khan, Mohammad Arif, Tariq Ahmad Wani, Farooq Ahmad and Bashir Ahmad Bhat also addressed the meeting.

Inam said Sopore, with its population, commercial significance and administrative load, fully merits upgradation as an independent district. “Sopore has contributed immensely to the region’s economy and deserves administrative empowerment. AIP will raise this demand at every appropriate forum,” he assured the gathering.

Inam Un Nabi also expressed serious concern about the inadequate healthcare facilities at Sub-District Hospital Sopore, calling for the immediate sanctioning of an MRI machine and a fully functional Dialysis Centre. He said that patients from Sopore and adjoining areas are compelled to travel long distances for critical diagnostic and life-support services, causing immense hardship, especially to the poor.

The meeting saw enthusiastic participation from local workers and youth, who pledged full support to AIP’s ongoing efforts to secure long-overdue rights and facilities for Sopore.
