She said many new faces came forward for the development and betterment of Sopore but unfortunately admin here hardly bother for further process.
Masrat said that there are lot of issues and problems which people in town are facing and we councillors will work hard to redress their issues for the betterment of town.

The charge of the president is lying vacant since January 2021.
Meanwhile Executive Officer Municipal Council Sopore, Sameer Jan told Kashmir Despatch that election will be held once there are orders from District administration.
