Devender Singh Rana has recently met with regional Dogra and PDP leaders
Amid the speculations of him quitting the party, Devender Singh Rana, top National Conference (NC) leader from the Jammu region, on Wednesday met party president Dr. Farooq Abdullah and vice-president Omar Abdullah at their residence in Srinagar.
Sources said Mr. Rana, during the meeting, had dropped broad hints at leaving the party “to safeguard and assert Dogra interests” in Jammu. The NC has remained silent about the meeting.
However, Mr. Rana, in a brief interaction with the media after the meeting, said, “As I talk to you, I am still a part of the NC. I would share the details with the media when there is anything.”
In 2021, five women from Mayithara, four of them MGNREGA (Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act) workers, found a common ground in their desire to create a sustainable livelihood by growing vegetables. Rajamma M., Mary Varkey, Valsala L., Elisho S., and Praseeda Sumesh, aged between 70 and 39, pooled their savings, rented a piece of land and began their collective vegetable farming journey under the Deepam Krishi group.
