Jammu and Kashmir infrastructure and connectivity efforts

Overview

Infrastructure and logistical development in Jammu and Kashmir has been a focus of legislative and administrative review. Initially, the Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly’s Committee on Government Assurances examined the performance of the Public Works Department and the Housing and Urban Development Department. Key discussions centered on the equitable allocation of road sector funds for 2026-27 and the urgent need for a time-bound plan to address recurring waterlogging and drainage issues in Srinagar.

Subsequent administrative reviews by Chief Secretary Atal Dulloo highlighted large-scale connectivity efforts, noting that 44 major works valued at approximately ₹39,711 crore are currently being executed under the Jammu and Kashmir Infrastructure and Connectivity Development Programme. These projects encompass highways, tunnels, bridges, and ring roads. Additionally, efforts to improve regional logistics have emerged, with officials in Anantnag working to coordinate railway goods services to enhance the transportation of local horticulture produce to external markets.
