“Elected Government didn’t work for the state’s development”:
Satya pal Malik said on Saturday that even the elected government did not do as much work as the Jammu and Kashmir administration has done in the last year. The Governor said, “In the eyes of the country the Governor is the one who plays golf, does nothing for the public. During his tenure, he only relaxes. But I do not think as much work as we have done, has been undertaken by any elected government.”
“Protection for Apple Farmers”:
Earlier on Thursday Satya pal Malik had warned those who threaten apple farmers in Kashmir. Malik said, “We will protect the farmers and give them protection. Immediate action will be taken against those who are threatening the farmers.”
The Governor was addressing people on the occasion of the launch of Market Intervention Target Scheme for apple farmers in Srinagar. Under this, procurement of apples will be done at remunerative prices from farmers through the Central Government’s Nodal Procurement Agency or NAFED.
