The Lt Governor reiterated the government’s commitment to build Green, Resilient & Inclusive cities. Continuous efforts are being made to transform urban areas into accelerators of economic growth, improve quality of life and overall prosperity for people, he noted.

“Smart city projects in Jammu and Srinagar are poised for a big leap. Effective planning, efficient management of resources, fine balance between heritage, ecology and pace of development and public participation will lead towards equitable and sustainable development”, the Lt Governor said.
Under the guidance of Hon’ble Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, cleanliness drive has become a people’s movement & its socio-cultural impact on the ground is heartening, the Lt Governor observed.
The Lt Governor appealed to the people of J&K to join the efforts to beautify their cities and also take advantage of facilities extended by the Municipal Corporations. We all must put united and collective efforts to make Jammu a truly smart City and also transform Jammu into the cleanest city, he added.
