Rs 16.84 bn Paid for Ring Road Land in J&K, Govt Informs House

The Government informed the legislative house that Rs 16.84 billion (bn) has been paid to landowners for acquisition related to the proposed ring road in Jammu and Kashmir. The payment, disclosed during a session of the assembly, was presented as part of measures to clear land title issues and enable timely project progress. Officials indicated that the disbursement follows statutory procedures and aims to reduce delays in construction.

Fourteen resolutions were selected through balloting and, according to the record, eleven were allocated to alliance legislators while the BJP received two and the PDP one. The administration set out seven key pillars intended to counter terror threats emanating from within the country and abroad and described these as central to security planning. The Lieutenant Governor also outlined a policy of support for sport, attributing recent transformation in the sporting sector across Jammu and Kashmir to sustained central investment and local initiatives.

Political figures debated leadership and accountability, with one senior opposition leader defending a prominent national politician as a strong leader willing to take on the government and the BJP. Attention was also drawn to proposed revisions to VIP vehicle entitlements, which the administration indicated could rise from Rs 1.5 million (mn) to Rs 3.5 million (mn) for specified categories. Commentary in the house stressed the need to balance protocol with fiscal prudence and public perception.

Lawmakers observed that large disbursements for land acquisition carry both developmental promise and the requirement for transparent oversight to ensure equitable outcomes for affected families. The government signalled that these payments are expected to expedite land clearance, enable contracts to be awarded and accelerate the carrying out of infrastructure works linked to the ring road. Debates in the assembly underlined commitments to security, sport and governance as interlinked priorities for the territory going forward.
