It has been observed numerous times that despite several welfare projects launched by the UT administration under the guidance of centre government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, there are still few lacunas in the system, which are hampering the Government’s efforts to ensure development on ground level. Although, the authorities are taking full care and precaution for ensuring implementation of all the directives religiously still some sectors remain out of notice due to one reason or another. Whereon one hand numerous developmental projects are going in both the capital cities of the Union Territory, there is a area called Transport Nagar in Jammu, which is still not developed in comparison to other areas of the winter capital. But as the ruling dispensation has always worked for the aspirations of people and took every possible step to meet the same, after getting numerous demands by several sections of society regarding development of Transport Nagar, the administrative council led by LG Manoj Sinha has approved the proposal of Jammu Metropolitan Regional Development Authority (JMRDA) for making necessary upgradations in road network and allied infrastructure at Transport Nagar, Narwal. As per details, the council has approved the proposal regarding development, to be completed at an estimated cost of Rs 33.57 crore in 12 months, for overall revamping of the area, which is termed as a major hub for transporters as, almost 1-1.25 lakh commuters visit the area on daily basis. Moreover, approximately 150 buses/vehicles are also parked in the area, which also has a bus terminal along with 1685 shops, 96 warehouses/godowns and a number of other offices. Under the proposal, where special stress will be accorded on black topping/ macadamization of roads, on the other hand special care will also be taken to decongest the roads for easing smooth flow of vehicles. This timely intervention of the administration by approving the necessary proposal will definitely give an altogether new look to Transport Nagar, which is presently in a deliberated condition due to damaged roads, filled with potholes and constant increase in the number of vehicles thronging the area, thereby fulfilling the long pending demand of several organizations and transporters.
