Remove Dumping Zone near
Sabzi Mandi, Janipur
I wish to draw the urgent attention of the Jammu Municipal Corporation (JMC) towards the growing problem of a dumping zone that has developed near the front office of JMC Janipur, close to Sabzi Mandi.
Heaps of waste are being thrown in the area on a daily basis, causing foul smell, unhygienic conditions, and blockage of pathways. This not only affects visitors coming to the JMC office but also creates serious health risks for nearby residents, vendors, and shopkeepers in the Sabzi Mandi area. The presence of stray animals and insects further adds to the problem.
Such dumping near an important public office sends a very negative message and disrupts the overall cleanliness of the locality.
I request the JMC administration to kindly take immediate action to:
Remove the existing garbage, Prohibit further dumping, Install proper dustbins and signage, and
Ensure regular sanitation in the area. Prompt action in this matter will greatly help in maintaining cleanliness and improving the environment for both citizens and office staff.

Defunct Traffic Lights in Smart City Jammu
It is quite puzzling that majority of traffic lights are not functioning since start of raining season in our so called smart city Jammu after spending lakhs of rupees and still creating a lot of problems for the people on city roads due to failure of the concerned agency to keep all the traffic lights functional for regulating the traffic properly during peak hours atleast in the most traffic busy chowks. The traffic lights in Panama chowk are defunct for the last more than one year and traffic lights of Bikram chowk are also non-functional for the last nearly five months and same is the position of many other main chowks of our smart city due to poor and timely maintenance of the traffic lights. It is appealed to all the concerned Smart City agencies to look into the said matter for the convenience and safety of the public. So that money of public taxes utilised for the said purposes should not go waste due to failure of concerned agencies for proper maintenance of traffic lights in smart city Jammu.

Public Toilet at Industrial Area Battal Ballian locked for years
I would like to draw the attention of the District Administration Udhampur and the SICOP Department towards the non-functional public toilet complex at the Industrial Area, Battal Ballian.
The toilet complex was constructed by SICOP over two years ago, yet it has not been thrown open for public use till date. Due to the absence of this essential facility, people working in the industrial area are compelled to use deserted fields and open spaces to relieve themselves, which not only causes inconvenience but also goes against the spirit of the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan.
It is quite surprising that although the construction work on this toilet complex started about three years ago and was completed about a year back, it still remains locked because of the negligence of the department. As a result, the government’s investment of lakhs of rupees is going to waste.
It is requested that the concerned authorities take immediate action to make this public toilet functional without any further delay, so that workers and visitors of the industrial area may not continue to suffer.

Govt HSS Krimchi beset with problems
The Govt. Hr. Sec. School Krimchi is situated at a short distance of 8 KM North-West of District H.Q Udhampur (J&K-UT). The School unfortunately is reeling under varied kinds of acute problems since long. The students as well as staff members are facing much difficulty in carrying the School functioning successfully. Particularly, the students are suffering in their studies as the School is devoid of Maths, Urdu, English, Economics & Psychology lecturers. The posts are lying vacant. The Multi Tasking Staff (MTS) also stands shifted herefrom.
Moreover, the bifurcated school is facing accommodation problem too. The classes are taken at four different locations due to insufficient accommodation at one place. The Main Complex, housing Principal’s Office is situated on the left side of Krimchi-Kainthgali road. The spot is sharp slanting. Whereas the School ground, Science-cum-Library block and Middle Block are inconveniently situated at three distinct places on the said road’s right side. With utmost difficulty and in an extreme congestion the students (boys & girls) are taught in these blocks as well. Adjacent to the main complex’s back there is a Medical Dispensary. If it is merged with main complex by exchange with the School’s scattered blocks, the School’s accommodation deficiency would be met with to a great extent.
Besides, an open Nallah of 4-5 ft width/depth, coming downward from the thickly populated Krimchi town/market is passing through the School’s main complex on the road’s left side. It is not only astonishing but painful too. The Nallah’s 40-50 mtr long portion within complex generally remains filled with garbage, dirt and filth flowing from the town side. There is nobody to keep the Nallah clean. The Nalllah is not only a nuisance but also posing grave threat to the students/staff member’s life. Any untoward incident could take place hereat due to the Nallah’s dreaded openness. In the rainy day(s) the situation worsens. It spreads foul smell in and around the School, pollutes the environment and breeds mosquitoes. Moreover, the Nallah gets flooded and becomes dangerous and risky for the precious human life. I humbly suggest that if the Nallah’s diversion to other side is not possible due to topographic constraints then it should be covered by laying cemented slabs at the earliest. The human life risk needs to be mitigated in time. The concerned higher authorities/peoples elected representatives should pay their focused attention towards the early solution of the problems of Govt. HSS Krimchi in Udhampur west Assembly constituency.

Poor condition of Nallah Bed at Dhakki Pir Kho
I wish to bring to your notice the deteriorated condition of the Nallah bed at Ward No. 3, Dhakki Pir Kho. Repair work was reportedly undertaken by the concerned division, but the condition of the Nallah remains poor and unattended.
It is requested that the matter be taken up urgently with the concerned officials/contractor so that proper repairs are carried out and the work is completed effectively. The present state of the Nallah bed poses inconvenience to the residents and may lead to further deterioration if not addressed promptly. Kindly intervene and ensure immediate remedial action.

Demand for repair of Ghordi-Chowki PMGSY road
I would like to draw the attention of the District Administration Udhampur and the PMGSY Department towards the pitiable condition of the Ghordi-Chowki road, which has become a daily hazard for hundreds of villagers.
The locals have already appealed to the Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir (UT), Manoj Sinha, requesting him to direct the concerned authorities to undertake immediate repairs. The 21-km stretch from Dalsar to Chowki-Ghordi is full of deep potholes and has deteriorated into the worst possible condition.
Only temporary patchwork with small stones and soil is carried out occasionally, which does not last even a month. Due to the extremely damaged condition of the road, minibus operators have stopped plying on this route, causing immense inconvenience to commuters.
As a result, pregnant women, elderly persons, school-going children, and daily passengers are facing manifold hardships. The administration is requested to take urgent action and ensure proper repair and blacktopping of this important road at the earliest.
