Jammu city is getting a face lift as the government is trying to complete all the developmental projects under smart city mission.
Recently the Chief Secretary of Jammu and Kashmir held a review meeting about the different developmental projects including those projects which will give a new look to Jammu city.
He visited many such areas and asked the officers to look into the possibility of combining the garden with the adjacent Aquarium. He stated that both the facilities are augmenting each other and should be offered to the public as a package. He also went around the fort and temple area and called for measures to make it more appealing and developed.
He visited other projects like Multi-level parking at Panjtirthi and other ongoing developmental works in and around the city. He recalled that dozens of projects were completed in the past couple of years which along with the progressing ones are going to make Jammu one of the best places in the country.
He asked for the opening of Jambo Zoo to the public in the month of January itself. He further mentioned that the Semi-Ring Road project would be taken to its final completion in the month of April. He observed that these would be a major step towards making Jammu city more vibrant, citizen-friendly and congestion-free.
He recounted that projects like newly developed General Bus stand, Multi-level Car Parking cum Commercial Complex, Vertical Garden from DograChowk to KC Chowk, Jammu-Akhnoor Expressway having the longest flyover in J&K, Beautification of bridges, PRASAD Lighting of different religious complexes, introduction of electric buses, and other projects of city landscaping and beautification are going to make Jammu the most vibrant cities of the country.
