Expressing satisfaction over the massive participation of people in the on-going Panchayat elections in Jammu and Kashmir, Union minister Farooq Abdullah today said the exercise would help in strengthening democracy at the grassroot level.
The establishment of the Panchayati Raj would also help in mitigating people's problems, the National Conference president said interacting with party leaders here.
"The people are desirous of seeing their problems addressed and the establishment of the Panchayati Raj will play a vital role in this regard," he said.
