Srinagar: Setting all speculations over his imminent transfer from Jammu and Kashmir to rest, Lieutenant Governor, Manoj Sinha said on Thursday that he will leave the region only after finishing exemplary and tangible works for the people for which he would be remembered for a long time.
“Some people say the Lieutenant Governor will too leave J&K. I wasn’t born here nor am I going to stay here permanently. I will definitely leave. However, before leaving I will finish exemplary and tangible works for the people so that they remember me for a long time,” he said.
He made these remarks while addressing a gathering at Raj Bhawan here on Thursday during the e-inauguration of several developmental projects for central Kashmir’s Budgam district.
Without naming anyone, the LG said that 30 years of conflict had produced a few conflict profiteers who filled their own coffers, sent their children to foreign countries and left poor kids to die on roads.
“The shops of these conflict profiteers have been closed forever on August 5, 2019. These few people are feeling the pain of peace and development in J&K. I want their pain to continue,” Sinha said.
