In the past few years, because of the policies of the central government there is a special emphasis on the development of urban areas in Jammu and Kashmir.
In order to give more focus to the urban infrastructure, urban services to the poor and help the cities to build on their inherent capacities, the J & K administration is trying to introduce many schemes on the ground to meet such targets.
In this direction LG Manoj Sinha said that relentless efforts for good urban governance & sustainability in cities to be further strengthened with cooperation of Praja Foundation.
