SRINAGAR: J&K National Conference General Secretary and MLA Khanyar Ali Mohammad Sagar on Wednesday met with several delegations from across the valley. The delegations brought forward pressing concerns, such as electricity shortages, water scarcity, and the rising unemployment among the youth.
Youth representatives expressed deep concern over the alarming unemployment rates in Jammu and Kashmir, especially after the abrogation of Article 370. They emphasized that local youth with high qualifications are being overlooked, while outside bureaucrats are neglecting their grievances.
