Addressing the workers, Mohammad Khursheed Alam urged party cadres to gear up for the PDP Foundation Day on July 28, stressing the need to intensify grassroots connect and strengthen the party’s presence in Srinagar.

He highlighted the worsening issues of water scarcity, broken lanes, and the recent unjustified hike in electricity fees, calling it a “complete failure of governance.”
