JAMMU, Nov 29: Following persistent efforts by MLA Jammu West, Arvind Gupta to highlight the developmental neglect of Ward No. 32, the JMC Commissioner, Devansh Yadav accompanied by administrative officers conducted a tour of the Ward to assess the problems faced by residents.
During the tour, the JMC Commissioner was accompanied by Joint Commissioners, Health Officer, Executive Engineers PHE, Electrical and UEED along with team and Smart City officers. BJP leaders Dharam Veer Singh Jamwal ex Deputy Mayor, Keshav Chopra, Mandal president, Rajesh Gupta and Pritpal Singh were also present.
Arvind Gupta apprised the JMC Commissioner about the long-standing neglect of the Ward in terms of developmental activities, including the non-construction of lanes, drains, and the inadequate management of water outflow. He emphasized that these issues have been causing severe inconvenience to the people, particularly during the rainy season.
“The neglect of Ward No. 32 is unacceptable. Despite being part of the Smart City Project, this Ward has been left behind in terms of basic development. The residents are facing severe hardships, and it is high time immediate measures are taken to resolve these issues,” he added.

Praising the Modi Government for its transformative vision and focus on grassroots development, Arvind Gupta said, “Under the leadership of Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, development has reached even the remotest corners of the country. It is imperative that such principles of inclusive growth are reflected in every ward of Jammu.”
