Poor road connectivity
There is a lot of poor road connectivity in Jammu city and the government has recently decided to take action against the engineers who have not implemented the orders for the road restoration.
In this direction recently Divisional Commissioner Jammu has directed the engineers that the road from Panjthirthi to Gujjar Nagar (Circular Road) and from Bikram Chowk to Bawe Morh, Jammu (Police Head Quarter Jammu) has been extensively damaged and has become accident prone thereby causing grave inconvenience to the commuters and leading to regular traffic jams.
Various directions were issued in the past to the Urban Environment & Engineering Department, Jammu to immediately ensure road restoration in these stretches, however the concerned Division has failed to ensure compliance.
The slow progress on both the projects and unsatisfactory road restoration works tantamount to non-serious attitude of the officer towards legitimate duties;
Divisional Commissioner Jammu has asked Executive Engineer, Sewerage and Drainage Division Jammu (West) to explain his position within two days positively, failing which it shall be presumed that he has nothing to say in his defence and action warranted under norms shall be initiated.”
Several deputations approached the office of Divisional Commissioner expressing resentment over the lackadaisical approach of the Sewerage and Drainage Division, Jammu, in execution of these projects.
