JAMMU, May 1: Tahir Choudhary, spokesperson of the Bharatiya Janata Party in Jammu & Kashmir, today called upon the Government led by Chief Minister Omar Abdullah to immediately initiate the development of new housing colonies across the Union Territory.
In a statement issued, Dr Choudhary said that the lack of planned housing initiatives in recent years has led to a sharp rise in property prices, particularly in Jammu, making it increasingly difficult for people to secure affordable homes.
He expressed concern that middle-class families and economically weaker sections are bearing the brunt of the situation, struggling to find well-structured and affordable housing options.
“The present Government appears to be in deep slumber on this critical issue. Jammu is expanding rapidly and without proper planning and development of new housing colonies, the situation will only worsen. This is not just a developmental concern but a matter directly impacting the quality of life of our citizens,” he said.
Dr Choudhary urged the Chief Minister to move beyond discussions and prepare a clear roadmap for establishing modern, well-planned housing colonies across both Jammu and Kashmir regions.
