Metro Rail Project
Metro Rail Project would be a reality in Jammu and Kashmir as the government has decided to approve it very soon. Not only is this project the government also very keen for LPG Gas Pipeline for J&K to be given a top priority.
As part of ongoing ‘Public Outreach Programme’ in J&K, Union Minister for Petroleum & Natural Gas and Housing & Urban Development, recently said that Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s Development Model emphasizes that the benefits of every centrally sponsored scheme should reach directly to the beneficiaries be that of the Ujjwala Yojana, Ayushman Bharat, PM Awas Yojana or others. He said this while e-inaugurating and laying e-foundation stones of many development projects of Jammu city at Convention Centre, Jammu.
He said that the PM had emphasized from the ramparts of Red Fort in 2014 that it would be a great tribute to the Father of Nation if India becomes Open Defecation Free (ODF) on the 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi. The Minister mentioned that the same is happening today when the country has achieved almost all the physical targets under ODF by constructing the individual household toilets, public toilets, community toilets and J&K is one among those ODF States/UTs which is a matter of pride for us.
He also said that the success behind implementation of Swachhta Abhiyan in almost every part of the country is that the programme was not restricted to only government quarters but was made a ‘Jan Andolan’ under PM Sh. Narendra Modi.
