UT administration has taken multiple campaigns/ initiatives wherein administration reaches to the people at their doorsteps to assess the disparities in development, listen to the public aspirations and plan out a holistic programme to address their genuine issues and aspirations. Block Diwas program is one among them which is held at various designated locations every Wednesday in district Doda.

 

This week, the Block Diwas program was held at four different locations in the district. The locations include, High School Puneja, Tehsil & Block Chiralla, Sub Division Thathri; Panchayat Ghar Chill, Sub Division Assar; Sub Divisional Headquarter, Sub Division Gandoh; and Village Masri, Panchayat Pranoo, Block Bhalla, Sub District Bhaderwah
