People's participation is essence of Good Governance..! MHA Shah asks J&K govt to ensure controlled benefits in all sphere

Srinagar, June 27: Chairing the review meeting on security arrangements for upcoming Amarnath Yatra at Sher-i-Kashmir International Convention Centre, Home minister Amit Shah on Thursday met Jammu & Kashmir Governor Satya Pal Malik.

 

This being his first visit to Jammu and Kashmir as MHA, Shah visited the family of a police officer who was killed in a terror attack in the Valley earlier this month. "His sacrifice for the security of our nation has saved many lives. Entire nation is proud of Arshad Khan's valour & courage," Amit Shah wrote over the social media sharing the pictures with Khan’s family.

Inspector Arshad Ahmed Khan was injured as soon as he stepped out of his armoured vehicle when a bullet fired by a terrorist ricocheted from his service rifle hitting his liver and duodenum during the shootout at Anantnag in South Kashmir. He was immediately rushed to a local hospital and then shifted to AIIMS Delhi where he breathed his last.

 

Shah further reviewed the development scenario in Jammu and Kashmir and sought the state government's focus on accelerating development, building infrastructure, good governance, inclusive growth for all communities and employment generating schemes for the youth. He also asked the state government to ensure that the poorest of the poor in the state shall get the benefits of good governance in all spheres.

 

On the second day of his maiden visit to the state, Amit Shah will meet BJP leaders and also members of Panchayats at the Nehru Guest House in Srinagar's Cheshma Shahi area. He will also meet delegations of civil society members, delegation of people connected with tourism and some youth delegations.
