Importance of timeline
Timeline is very important for the completion of many important projects in Jammu and Kashmir.
Recently the Chief Secretary chaired the 5th Project Steering Committee (PSC) meeting of the World Bank funded Jhelum & Tawi Flood Recovery Project (JTFRP) implemented by J&K Economic Reconstruction Agency (ERA).
He said that his administration will try to look at ways and means so that unutilized funds given by the world bank are utilized.
He took note of the delay caused in 2019 & 2020 due to unforeseen Covid-19 situation. He asked for making best use of the time window available with them. He also advised them to prioritize the projects that can be implemented in a short span of time.
He reviewed the detailed progress of all the sub-projects and directed that the ones under execution through JKPCC shall be taken over by the Public Works (R&B) Department on priority basis.
