The Commission members Mustaq Ahmad Ganai, Mumtaz Afzal and G A Shahbaz met a senior official of Pulwama district Mehraj Ahmad Kakroo yesterday and gathered details about Shopian Tehsil, which was upgraded to district status by the government in July this year, an official spokesman said here.

Kakroo also provided details of the existing infrastructural facilities available in Shopian and also projected the future requirements in terms of infrastructure and manpower.
