Azad Jammu and Kashmir President Barrister Sultan Mahmood Chaudhry on Monday said that after the recent holding of local government elections, power has been successfully transferred to the masses at the grassroots level in the territory. Barrister Chaudhry expressed these views while addressing a public gathering hosted by newly-elected District Council Chairman Raja Naveed Akhtar Goga here.
Speaking on the occasion, the President said, “holding the much-delayed polls in the region was one of the promises I had made when I took oath of office”. Reiterating his commitment to strengthening the local bodies, he said that the government would provide all possible support to the elected representatives so that they could be able to serve the people.—APP
