Empowering farmers through sustainable sericulture remains at the heart of our development journey.

@aalacabs @OfficeOfLGJandK @tptofficial_jk Already raised these issues with Aala customer care on 14.11.2025. The proof is right here in the shared screenshots. Please fix your system. We all want digitization, but digital platforms must also follow norms and value their customers.

Is there any regulation fr online cab service providers like @aalacabs in J&K? Local commuters r taken for a ‘real-ride’ while no 1 seems to intervene. Drivers freely negotiate fares & cancel if the customer doesn’t agree-often at th last moment.

@FayaazDar @kpdcloffice After 100% metering, we expected better power supply, but it’s gone worse. Earlier there was a schedule - now outages are random, leaving the whole area in uncertainty.

@FayaazDar @OfficeOfLGJandK @jkrddpr @AsadamAijaz @basharatias_dr This stadium is the only hope in the area to keep youth involved in sports activities & grow a healthy society, free of drug menace. The money spent so far has been wasted due to lack of proper planning & insufficient funds.
A well-structured project is needed to save this stdm

#Rajpora Indoor Stadium might be the only one in the world where players plan games around unpredictable power cuts. Crores spent to build it, but no lakhs spared for a solar backup or generator. A great asset left in the dark. #InfrastructureFail @nuzhatjehangir @dcpulwama

[DR AFTAB SHABNAM @AFTABSHABNAM]

Kudos to @nuzhatjehangir & the department for maintaining Rajpora Indoor Stadium so well! To make it even better, we need:
1. A power generator
2. Curtains for the windows
3. Fixing the rooftop leakage

Your attention to these points would be greatly appreciated!
