A large number of Panches and Sarpanches from different blocks of the state gathered here at the premises of Press Club, Jammu, and took out a victory procession to celebrate the implementation of Amendment.
Jubilant panchayat members celebrated amidst drum beating and raised slogans cheering AJKPC leaders and implementation of 73rd amendment.
Panches and sarpanches garlanded and congratulated AJKPC leaders for their success in the movement which they had launched two years ago.
