Their role is vital in strengthening party ideology and taking development schemes directly to the people,” he said.

CLC General Secretary Bhagi Raj Ghimirey highlighted that the ward-level committee formation drive was not only about organisation building but also about deepening SKM’s connect with the people. He said the committees would serve as direct linkages between the party and the public, ensuring effective grassroots outreach.
