Ch. Vikram Randhawa assured the deputations that all genuine grievances would be vigorously pursued with the concerned departments and authorities for their early redressal. He said that BJP has always stood with the people and remains committed to ensuring accountable, transparent, and responsive governance. He emphasized that issues related to basic amenities such as roads, drains, water supply, sanitation, and public welfare directly affect the quality of life of citizens and, therefore, deserve immediate attention.
