The Lt. Governor also solicited the opinion of Panchayat representatives in increasing the developmental index in Baramulla district.
He said that the union government has recently amended J&K Panchayat Raj Act by virtue of which District Development Councils would be formed in each district so that the people are benefited by the developmental activities planned at the grassroots levels.
