Chief Minister Omar Abdullah reviewed development activities in Ganderbal district and inaugurated five completed projects worth Rs. 167.2 mn. He also laid foundation stones for two projects valued at Rs. 415.4 mn, taking the total value of the works launched and inaugurated during his visit to Rs. 582.6 mn.

The new projects include a bridge over the River Jhelum at Guzhama Shilwat, costing Rs. 390 mn, and a multi-purpose auction platform at the Fruit and Vegetable Mandi in Zazna, with an approved cost of Rs. 25.4 mn. The bridge is intended to improve connectivity for local residents, while the platform will support trading by fruit and vegetable growers.

The completed works include roads linking Tehsil Bagh with Lar Bypass, Yanihama with Dangerpora, and Dar Mohalla Wattalbagh with Dangerpora and adjoining areas. Other inaugurated works comprise the double-storey building at High School Gogjigund, the upgraded road from Fatehpora Dak Bangloo to Gadoora Bridge, and the Pati Waskura-Kharbagh Bund road along the River Jhelum.

Abdullah also reviewed the Srinagar Ring Road’s Pandaach-Manigam section at Dr Farooq Abdullah Environmental Park, Manigam. The 12.115-km project, being executed by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) at a cost of Rs. 2.91 bn, involves upgrading an existing two-lane road into a four-lane dual carriageway. It includes bridges, a flyover, culverts, and service and slip roads, with completion scheduled for May 2028.

The Chief Minister reviewed the Sindh River Front and Municipal Town Hall projects, approved at Rs. 48.3 mn and Rs. 30 mn respectively. The riverfront’s first phase includes a protection wall, landscaping, a paved walkway, a viewpoint, a patio café, and ornamental lighting. At the mandi, he assessed harvest-season arrangements and heard growers’ concerns, which he said would be taken up for resolution. Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Kumar Choudhary, ministers, advisers and senior officials accompanied him.
