Addressing a press conference, he said the government had framed prudent economic and social policies and its blessing had started trickling down to the grass-roots level.
He said about 66 development projects were underway in the area including Rattu and Perishing power projects and those would be completed within scheduled timeframe.
He said the government was also focusing on the promotion of tourism activities in the area.
He urged masses to elect trustworthy candidates in next elections as the opposition betrayed mandate given by people and did nothing for the socio-economic development of the area.
He promised to make Astore as a model city if he was elected again in next election and all the problems faced by people would be resolved on priority basis.
The city was facing different problems including poverty, unemployment besides issues in health and education sectors, adding all these problems would be resolved in shortest possible time.
