Mendhar, March 25:

Member Legislative Assembly Mendhar, Javed Rana today called for upgradition of administrative setup in Mendhar with district status.

In a press statement issued here today, the elected representative of Mendhar has said that Mendhar area of Poonch district is a vast area comprising of three tehsils including Mendhar, Balakote and Mankote and several dozens of panchayats.

” Constant cross border shelling, hilly terrains and far off areas led to extra burden on official machinery and one supervisory SDM on three teshils in such a tough area is not enough ” he said demanding for granting a complete district status to Mendhar.

The Lawmaker said that upgradition of administrative setup leads to better implementation of government schemes and thus should be taken positively by ruling dispension.

” Previous government headed by Omar Abdullah sanctioned new administrative units for entire state which are now opening new doors of development and present government should also follow same footprints ” he further said.
