Summary revision of electoral rolls is being conducted across the district Kishtwar under the overall supervision of District Panchayat Election Officer (DPEO- DC) R.K. Shavan.

During the inspection visit, the ERO Thakrie educated the general public about the procedure for up-dation of Panchayat Draft Electoral Roll and urged youth, who would attain 18 year with January 1 2025 as the qualifying date, to register themselves as voter in Electoral Roll.

 Meanwhile, the Assistant Commissioner Development reviewed the status of development indicators in the Panchayat envisioned under the Model Panchayat Development Project. The ACD assessed the progress of different schemes being implemented by the Rural Development and other departments, aiming to achieve saturation of all scheme indicators to benefit the local community, especially 78 indicators as envisaged under the MPD project.

Interacting with the locals, the ACD provided valuable insights on RDD schemes especially wage employment under MGNREGA, steps for water sufficient Panchayat, significance of SBM-G and proper utilization of assets, construction, completion of PMAY,-G houses, addition of more houses under PMAY-G, industrial initiatives, and other departmental projects.
