Addressing an election rally in Ramban district, Minister of State for Haj and Auqaf Aijaz Ahmad Khan said the National Conference-Congress coalition aims at empowering people at grassroots level and involve them in policy framing and implementation of schemes.
Calling on panchayat representatives to vote for the alliance in the Legislative Council elections, Khan said coalition government has transferred powers of fourteen departments to panchayats under a cabinet order.
