Jammu & Kashmir gets Rs 3500 crore for road infrastructure

In a bid to upgrade road infrastructure in Jammu and Kashmir, the Central Government granted Rs 3,500 crore for two road projects in Jammu city.

Informing about the development, Jammu and Kashmir Altaf Bukhari said that two ring road projects for Srinagar and Jammu were also approved.
Bukhari added that the road projects will remove bottlenecks and decongest traffic.

The minister said that upgradation of Srinagar-Jammu highway was sped up and the ambitious project is likely to be commissioned by next year.

"Given the sluggish performance of the project contractors, the Government has changed RAMKY with Project Management Unit to ensure speedy completion of the project and provide assured all-weather connectivity to Kashmir," he told news agency PTI.
