Srinagar, Mar 11: Awami Itihaad Party (AIP) chief spokesperson Inam Un Nabi said that Baramulla MP Er Rashid has approved ₹38.87 lakh for several drinking water–related works in Kupwara district under the MPLADS scheme.
In a statement, Inam Un Nabi said the office of the District Development Commissioner Kupwara has granted administrative approval for these works following the recommendation of MP Er Rashid to strengthen the drinking water supply in different parts of the district.

The AIP spokesperson said MP Er Rashid is focusing on addressing basic public needs through MPLADS funds, particularly in rural areas where access to drinking water remains a challenge.
Inam Un Nabi expressed hope that the concerned executing agencies will complete the works on time so that people in the affected areas benefit at the earliest.
