Smart satellite township to be developed at Jammu’s Ring Road

Paving the way for the expansion of Jammu city, the Jammu Development Authority (JDA) plans to develop an Integrated Smart Satellite Township for a population of about 50,000 along Ring Road at Bhalwal.

The decision to develop the satellite township was taken in a meeting of the Board of Directors of the JDA last week. A similar township had been earlier decided to be developed by the J&K Housing Board.

The proposed township will be a self-sufficient satellite town with modern infrastructure and amenities, including for commercial and institutional usage, and it will also provide livelihood opportunities for its residents within the township. It will be for the first time in last three decades that the JDA will take up development of a housing colony on this scale in Jammu. The proposed township will fully take care of the expansion needs of Jammu city.

The board further approved the revamping of drainage, road, water supply and power distribution infrastructure in underdeveloped housing colonies at an estimated expenditure of Rs 660 million, which will touch the lives of a population of more than 10,000 residents. Grant of alternate plots to the allottees of Roop Nagar housing colony Sector 6 (New) in other sectors of the same colony, who could not be handed over possession because of long legal disputes, was also approved by the board.
