During the meeting, Ashwani Sharma urged LG to address the issues of border fencing, compensation of which is yet to be paid to the farmers.

These farmers have given their prime land for installation of fence to protect the country and people but they are yet to be paid their due," Sharma said.
He sought attention of LG on irrigation problem of border people who are dependent on Ranbir canal and other sources of water.
"As the desilting of canal is not done properly, it creates water crisis situation for border people.

"since the GoI abrogated Article 35A it was brought a relief for Gorkha and Valmiki people who are now being issued domicile certificate for which they had been waiting for last 74 years. Also daughters of Jammu and Kashmir, who were married outside and had lost the property rights, are now equal citizens like others and they and their children can earn property rights," he added.
