Bandipora, July 17, 2023: Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha Sunday commended Peerzada Muqeem, an entrepreneur from north Kashmir’s Bandipora district for transforming livelihoods through dairy farming.
An official spokesman in a statement issued here said that in the recent episode of the talk show, ‘Awaam Ki Awaaz’, the LG highlighted the inspiring journey of Muqeem, a postgraduate in Diplomacy, Law and Business.
