BANDIPORA: In a historic moment and a matter of immense pride for Jammu and Kashmir, District Bandipora has bagged the Best Performer Award in the Country under the prestigious Adi Karmayogi Abhiyaan (AKY), recognizing the district’s outstanding implementation and on-ground impact of the initiative.
