Promoting local produce like Kala Zeera and Saffron is excellent! Kishtwar has such potential. Better market linkages can transform the local economy. Hope they also focus on organic certification and e-commerce platforms for farmers.

Timely execution? That's a joke in our area. The PMGSY road near my village has been 'under construction' for 3 years. Meetings and directives are fine, but we need accountability. Who answers if deadlines are missed? No one.

Youth engagement through Sansad Khel is a positive step. Channelising energy into sports is much better than the alternatives. Hope they get proper infrastructure and coaching. J&K has so much sporting talent waiting to be tapped.

The mention of an airstrip for tourism is forward-thinking. Improved connectivity is key for any region's development, especially in the hills. It could be a game-changer for Kishtwar's economy if executed well.

"Transparent and consumer-friendly smart metering" - I'll believe it when I see it. The power department needs a complete overhaul. Bills are often arbitrary. Hope this directive leads to actual change on the ground.
