Mehbooba Mufti held a public meeting titled ‘Baat Cheet’ in Doda, where she highlighted the long-standing neglect of the Chenab Valley region. She emphasized the area’s significant human and natural resources and urged authorities to grant it divisional status. Additionally, she called for the introduction of train services to improve connectivity in the region.
During her address, Mufti stressed the need for focused development initiatives to unlock the potential of Chenab Valley and address the infrastructure gaps that have persisted for decades.
**Why this matters**
Granting divisional status to Chenab Valley could lead to better administrative focus and resource allocation, potentially accelerating regional development. Improved train connectivity would enhance transportation, boost local economy, and provide easier access for residents and businesses.
