The event was graced by the presence of Bimla Luthra, State Vice President of JKNC and former MLA, who attended as the chief guest and Jagjeevan Lal, District President Reasi and former Minister Guest of Honor.

Sunita Rajput commenced the meeting by briefing the senior functionaries of the party about the severe hardships faced by the women in entire district Reasi. She highlighted especially the remote area of reasi the glaring absence of women-centric welfare policies and the lack of basic amenities in the district, which have exacerbated the struggles of women, particularly in the rural and far-flung areas.

Jagjeevan Lal highlighted the government’s failure to develop the remote regions of Reasi district. He pointed out the acute shortage of essential services, particularly affecting the pilgrims in the holy town of Katra. "Pilgrims are facing an acute shortage of water and other necessary amenities in Katra," he stated, calling for immediate attention to the infrastructural deficiencies.

In her address, Bimla Luthra delivered a scathing critique of the government’s incompetence in addressing the pressing issues faced by the women and residents of Reasi. "The government has utterly failed to implement effective policies for women’s welfare and development. The lack of basic facilities and infrastructure in Reasi is a testament to their neglect," she said and stressed the need for comprehensive strategies to uplift the marginalized sections, particularly women, and ensure their access to basic amenities and opportunities for growth.

The former MLA urged the women of the district Reasi to take a pledge to support the National Conference in the upcoming Assembly polls. Emphasizing the crucial role women play in shaping the future of the community, she highlighted the party's commitment to women's empowerment and their active participation in the political process.
