Gwalior- The Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor, Manoj Sinha said on Thursday that the people-centric policies and schemes of the government have taken the form of mass movement and what seems to be unthinkable a decade ago has now become possible.

Remembering Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia, the LG said, as a freedom fighter, statesman and philosopher, Dr Lohia tirelessly worked for the equality, human dignity and social justice and gave new hope and aspirations to common man.
“As a leader of masses and untiring champion of social equality, Dr. Lohia’s seven revolutions gave a new shape to social, economic and political ideas and strongly advocated equality between men and women,” he added.
The LG threw light on the life and campaigns of Dr Lohia for establishing just & equitable society, and improving the living standards of the deprived sections.
