Locals have welcomed and appreciated the efforts of MLA Langate, Sheikh Khursheed, for fulfilling his commitment to improve road infrastructure in the area. Speaking to the media, residents said that during his election campaign, MLA Sheikh Khursheed had promised to provide the village with basic amenities that had been neglected for years.
