JAMMU, Jan 20: Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah today reviewed progress on various projects under execution in Jawaharlal Nehru Urban Mission (JNNRUM) at a high level meeting here and directed the Housing Department for fast tracking projects to ensure early benefits to the people.
“There is urgent need to generate resources for completing the ongoing projects and ensuring basic amenities in urban areas”, he said and impressed upon the department to work out ways and means of making urban local bodies and municipal corporations financially self reliant.
