Villagers raise issues of Infra, Edu, Irrigation, and Healthcare
Kargil: Member of Parliament from Ladakh, Mohmad Haneefa Jan, conducted an extensive tour of the Trespone and GM Pore constituencies to review ongoing development works and assess the implementation of various government schemes. The visit aimed at gathering on-ground feedback from residents and ensuring the effective execution of welfare programmes.
Accompanied by Executive Councillor Syed Mujtaba, Councillor GM Pore Syed Ali, and senior district officials, the MP interacted with locals in several villages including Chaychay Thang, Sarchay, Kanoor, Trespone, Kukshow, Tambis, Saliskote, Gongma Horlam, and GM Pore. During these interactions, residents voiced demands concerning road connectivity, irrigation, power supply, education, healthcare, and local employment opportunities.
At Chaychay Thang, villagers sought restoration of the irrigation khul, solar power for the mosque, completion of the lift irrigation project, and construction of a motorable bridge. They also demanded winter-friendly classrooms, horticulture development, and pedestrian pathways. MP Haneefa Jan urged parents to increase school enrolment and assured that developmental gaps would be addressed in coordination with district authorities.
In Sarchay, demands centered around the construction of a bridge, school building, grazing shelter, irrigation khul, and a medical sub-centre, besides expediting Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) works. Responding to the concerns, the MP directed the Block Programme Manager (Rural Development Department) to draft a proposal for promoting women’s self-employment and pledged to explore CSR funding for the initiative.
During his halt at Kanoor, residents raised issues of inadequate road connectivity, lack of Community Health Centre (CHC) facilities, and the need for a public library, ATM services, and solar batteries. They also urged for the development of an ice hockey rink and better implementation of JJM. The MP assured that he would convene a meeting with the Director General, Border Roads Organisation (BRO) and district officers to resolve the pending matters.
At Trespone, public representatives pressed for upgrading the GM Pore–Trespone Khul, elevating the Primary Health Centre (PHC) to CHC status, and introducing Eklavya Model Residential School (EMRS)-type institutions. The MP directed officials to ensure doorstep delivery of centrally sponsored schemes and explore possibilities for school upgradation in line with established norms.
In Kukshow and Tambis, villagers highlighted issues related to bridge construction, shortage of teachers, installation of solar lights, library establishment, and classroom improvements. Members of the Ladakh University Students’ Union also submitted a memorandum of concerns at Government High School Tambis.
MP Haneefa Jan later inaugurated the upgradation of Government High School Saliskote to Higher Secondary level, where he emphasized community participation in strengthening the education sector.
Concluding his visit at Gongma Horlam and GM Pore, villagers demanded a full-fledged Tehsil office, improved road infrastructure, sanctioned medical posts, and a school bus service. The MP assured that a school bus would be provided during his tenure and reaffirmed his commitment to addressing local priorities.
Expressing gratitude for the community’s cooperation, MP Haneefa Jan thanked the people of GM Pore constituency for their “supportive and constructive engagement,” reiterating that development efforts would continue in close consultation with the public.
