Locals of Lasjan, Soiteng and adjacent areas hailed Er Aijaz for reaching out to them from time to time.
A delegation of locals including elderly and youth from Lasjan met Er Aijaz and explained him about the need of a sub-way so that they can reach to their paddy fields and orchards easily. They also demanded an under-pass so that they can get connected to the highway easily and their children can go to their schools without wasting much time.
Er Aijaz, while acknowledging their genuine demand, urged the National Highway Authority of India to consider construction of an under-pass in the Lasjan area in the larger public interest. He also assured the delegation of youth that the area will have a quality playground and other sports facilities soon.
