“The Municipal polls are crucial for empowering local governance and addressing people’s day-to-day issues effectively. Our commitment must remain with the people,” Laigaroo said. Laigaroo lambasted the sitting MLA of Habba Kadal, Shamima Firdous, for being “completely missing from the ground”, saying that the constituency continues to face neglect due to her absence.

“People feel abandoned. Shamima Firdous has been invisible on the ground while residents struggle with daily challenges,” Laigaroo remarked. He also urged the district administration to rehabilitate the recent fire victims of Habba Kadal, calling for immediate relief and compensation. “These families have lost everything. The administration must ensure timely rehabilitation and proper assistance,” Laigaroo added.
