Rs 1400 crore was approved for 547 schemes, against which Rs 1071 crore stands expended so far, he added.
Under the Central Road Fund (CRF), three schemes have been approved during the previous financial year costing Rs 507 crore till March 2015, while work is apace on 39 schemes in the division.
Meanwhile, 125 bridges have been completed out of 282, approved at a cost of Rs 440 crore, while four bridges were reconstructed out of the 51 damaged in the division so far.

As many as 1139 schemes have been completed, out of 2038, at a cost of Rs 2977 crore under PMGSY, which has given connectivity to 1701 habitations in the division.
He said Minister for Roads and Buildings (R&B) Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari has asked the engineers of R&B and PMGSY departments to settle all pending land acquisition and compensation cases in Jammu division to ensure timely completion of various important road projects.
No road project should suffer because of delay in land acquisition and other clearances said Mr Bukhari and asked the authorities to expedite the processes.
Underlining need for constructing durable roads, the Minister asked engineers to change the existing 20mm bituminous specification to 50mm and 75mm in future projects.
The Minister exhorted upon the officers not to prepare DPRs of any project, until asked by the Ministry or the concerned administrative Secretariat.
He said this practice needs to be checked and asked Chief Engineer to ensure such things do not happen.
The Minister directed for establishing a Hot-Mix Plant at Jammu, besides making existing Hot-Mix plant at Baramulla functional and asked Managing Director of J&K Project Construction Corporation and Chief Engineer Jammu to coordinate with each other for the purpose, the spokesman added. |
