He has taken up the task of questioning those in power to lay forward a concrete plan for development going forward.
There is immense development in areas where their political leaders are active in getting things in place and there are some areas where in spite of power being in the hands of the government, nothing worthy is done for the land. The same is the case with Lolab region in Kashmir, especially the far-flung interiors where there are no signs of development and no political heads are active in getting the development in place. The Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) Leader Muneer Mir has taken up this issue with the government for ignoring the region for quite some time now as there is no development and other basic facilities available in the adjoining areas.
The Congress leader has blamed the earlier representatives from the state legislature for the retarded development of the region and has said that in spite of repeated reminders, nothing concrete has been done till date. During his visit to Watnov he was quite disheartened to see the current conditions of those living in the interiors of Kupwara district and commented that the elected representatives have never bothered to work towards the betterment of these areas for long and there was an urgent need to get the word across that this has to be taken up on a very high priority.
The inhabitants of Lolab are cut-off from the real world as they are far behind in areas like education, medical facilities, roads, electricity and much more. “The politicians are seen visiting these areas during elections and afterwards they vanish into thin air never to look back or fulfill the promises made,” says Mir who wants to put in his heart and soul to get the area developed at a fast pace. He has taken up a lot of initiatives in the past which has helped the people immensely, the reason he has a strong support from the locals in and around Lolab. He says that he wants to see the region at par with any other developed area in India and is working diligently to turn his dreams to reality.
