The Smart City projects are commendable, yet urgent attention is needed from the administration to repair water coolers swiftly. The current heat wave is exacerbating difficulties in accessing drinking water, posing challenges for the people. Despite this pressing issue, I commend the administration for their effective execution of other aspects of the Smart City initiative. It is essential to ensure that basic amenities like functional water coolers are prioritized to safeguard public health and comfort during these extreme weather conditions. I appeal to the authorities to address this issue promptly, reflecting their commitment to enhancing the city’s livability for all residents.

Our Government has done a tremendous job in transforming our city, making it more beautiful with each passing day. The Smart City Project has completed numerous development works that deserve recognition. Firstly, the vibrant wall paintings have added a colourful and artistic charm to our cityscape, enhancing its aesthetic appeal. Secondly, the construction of parks throughout the city is another commendable initiative that provides green spaces for relaxation and recreation. These projects not only beautify our surroundings but also improve our quality of life. I applaud the efforts of the authorities and stakeholders involved in making our city a more vibrant and livable place.

Certainly, Jammu is undergoing a transformation into a Smart City, but it’s evident that some significant projects remain incomplete.
The persisting issue of traffic jam continues to inconvenience residents and visitors alike, causing considerable frustration.
It is crucial for the administration to prioritize resolving this problem promptly.
Addressing traffic congestion will not only improve the daily commute but also enhance the overall livability of our city. I urge the authorities to allocate necessary resources and expedite efforts towards finding sustainable solutions to alleviate traffic congestion in Jammu.
