JAMMU: Hundreds of joyous National Conference supporters celebrated on streets in the border districts of Rajouri, and Poonch, known as the Pir Panjal belt, after the induction of two local leaders — Surinder Kumar Choudhary as Deputy Chief Minister and Javed Rana as a minister — in the Omar Abdullah-led government in Jammu and Kashmir on Wednesday.
Abdullah took oath as the chief minister of the first elected government in the Union Territory since the abrogation of Article 370 in 2019.
Choudhary, who defeated BJP’s J-K unit chief Ravinder Raina in Nowshera in Rajouri district, and Rana, representing Mendhar in Poonch district, were among the four victorious NC candidates in the Pir Panjal belt. The NC-Congress alliance secured five of the eight seats in the region.
