She also assured to provide free training to the youth in the electrical field and will work towards helping them become self-employed. She assured all round development in the Ward if she is elected.
Meanwhile, as many as 21 candidates who had filed their nominations under the Aboi, Naginimora and Tizit Town Councils have withdrawn their candidatures.
