Early Times Report
Jammu, Dec 7: Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed on Monday warned executing agencies against time overrun in the execution of various ongoing projects in health, education, tourism and other connected sectors in the State.
He also directed Irrigation and Flood Control Department to expedite work on realignment of irrigation canal and shifting of utilities which will facilitate early execution of work on the expansion of Jammu Airport runway, an official spokesman said.
The Chief Minister, who issued these instructions while on an extensive tour of the winter capital, was accompanied by Deputy Chief Minister Nirmal Singh. Speaker of the Legislative Assembly Kavinder Gupta and Secretary Mohammad Ramzan were also present on the occasion, he said.
The Chief Minister first inspected the under construction new Legislature Complex, which is being constructed at a cost of Rs 160 crore by the JKPCC. He was informed that the work on the exteriors will be completed by March next year, he said.
Being constructed over an area of 2.65 lakh square feet, the six-floored Legislature Complex will be connected to the Civil Secretariat by an aerobridge and will house new Legislative Assembly, Legislative Council and their Secretariats. A provision of parking in the basement has also been incorporated in the project.
Sayeed also reviewed progress of work on realignment of irrigation canal and construction of an alternate road from National Highway to Nikki Tawi via Belicharana to pave way for the extension of Jammu Airport runway.
He was informed that the realignment of the irrigation canal will be completed by December 2016. The project is being executed at a cost of Rs 59.80 crore. Similarly, the work on alternate road connectivity to Nikki Tawi is being executed at a cost of Rs 22 crore.
Besides the road, the project entails components of land compensation, shifting of utilities and reconstruction of army structures and assets, in lieu of the existing structures near the Airport.
The execution of these projects will enable the Airport Authority of India to initiate the work on extension of Jammu Airport runway by another 1300 ft, which is considered to be a critical requirement in upgradation of the airport.
The Chief Minister also received a briefing by MD JKPCC on Nikki Tawi Bridge, which is being constructed at a cost of Rs 27 crore. The bridge, which will provide much-needed connectivity to the people residing nearby, is slated to be completed by June 2017. |
