Congress Rallies for J&K Statehood Amidst Grassroots Campaign

The Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) focused its efforts on Saturday on strengthening grassroots connections as part of the Sangathan Srijan Abhiyan in Jammu city outskirts.

Leading the charge, JKPCC Working President Raman Bhalla urged for the restoration of full statehood, emphasizing that governance and fiscal autonomy are crucial for meeting local needs and ensuring developmental accountability.

The campaign aims to revitalize block and booth committees, with a strong push for youth and women's participation on issues like infrastructure, education, and social welfare, while addressing unemployment and agrarian stress among other regional challenges.
