Addressing the gathering, the Lt Governor also talked about journey of Jammu Kashmir on the path of peace and development and the unprecedented progress registered across the sectors.

When our country became independent and holy book ‘Constitution of India’ was scripted by our forefathers for future guidance, the biggest objective was to fulfill the promises of freedom fighters of reaching to the last man in queue with all the benefits. It didn’t happen in J&K. Certain elements had weaponised the secessionist ideology and J&K suffered inequality, discrimination for decades, the Lt Governor said.

We have ended the discrimination and inequality under the guidance of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji. J&K UT has marched a great distance forward in the last 3-4 years and a new ecosystem was created to ensure a far greater prosperity for our people, he said.

“From Vitasta to Ganga, Shehr-e-Khaas to Banaras, Lal Chowk to Lal Qila, there is just one heart beat. The transformation of J&K reminds us that Unity in Diversity is our biggest strength and with peace, love, harmony, brotherhood and stability, great goals can be achieved, the impossible can be made possible,” the Lt Governor added.

He also expressed gratitude to the residents of the city, trade fraternity and all the stakeholders for their support to the administration during the infrastructural development works.

Sh Junaid Azim Mattu, Mayor SMC and Dr Arun Kumar Mehta, Chief Secretary also spoke on the occasion.  Sh Feroz Ahmad Baba, President Lal Chowk Traders Association expressing his views said he has seen such development for the first time.

On the occasion, the Lt Governor also inaugurated a variable messaging display at Srinagar Square.
