Rs 4.1 Billion Sewage Upgrade Begins For Jammu City Wards

A Rs 4.1 billion sewage-infrastructure scheme has been launched in Jammu, with work formally inaugurated by East-constituency MLA Yudhvir Sethi. Funded under the Union government’s urban-transformation drive, the project will be executed by R&B Infra Projects Ltd at a contract value of Rs 3.4 billion.

The plan will lay a 28-kilometre pipeline network through Wards 16, 17, 18, 19, 24 and two adjoining divisions, providing household connections for about 12 500 properties. Civic engineers say the modern system will deliver scientific waste disposal, curb water-borne disease and prevent rain-time flooding.

Mr Sethi called the venture “a cornerstone of the Modi Government’s commitment to clean, liveable cities”, noting that better sanitation will raise public-health standards and align Jammu with Smart-City goals.

State ministers and senior officials also highlighted parallel initiatives such as AMRUT 2.0 and pledged that no neighbourhood would be left behind in the city’s push for world-class infrastructure.
