New Delhi: Bridging the gap between the peoples of Jammu and Kashmir and the rest of India and engaging with alienated youths top the agenda of newly appointed governor Satya Pal Malik, who says politics will take a back seat during his tenure and reaching out to common people will have the topmost priority.
The first politician to hold the post of Jammu and Kashmir governor in decades, 71-year-old Malik is all set to make changes in the administration.
“I will ensure that the administration is at the beck and call of the people and there are no complaints about governance. I have already asked deputy commissioners to hold a meeting with locals every week and directed the advisers to visit every district headquarters once in a week to meet the people.”
“The governor’s house will be people’s house,” Malik told PTI in an interview. Jammu and Kashmir is currently under governor’s rule.
