BANDIPORA, NOVEMBER
11: In response to recent news reports raising concerns about the absence of
District Administration officials at an event organized in Zurimanz by the
Mahigeeran and Singarakashan Association Bandipora in collaboration with the
Sopore Fishermen Union, and attended by Hon’ble MLAs from Bandipora, Sonawari,
Sopore, and Wagoora Kreeri, the District Administration Bandipora has issued a
clarification, debunking the allegations circulating in the media.
The District
Administration clarifies that no formal invitation or prior intimation was
received from the organizers, which would have enabled the participation of
district officials in this event.
The District
Administration remains fully committed to supporting events organized by
government or private agencies that benefit the community and the environment.
It actively encourages such initiatives and ensures that relevant officials are
present at these gatherings whenever possible.
The Administration
further requests that agencies intending to conduct such events provide advance
notice, which would enable the Administration to extend the necessary support
and ensure the participation of officers and officials.
