JAMMU, Aug 18: Jammu Municipal Corporation (JMC) has intensified efforts to improve civic amenities by launching a special drive for repair and restoration of street lights across the city. The campaign aims to ensure that every lane, road and public space in Jammu remains well-lit, thereby enhancing public safety, convenience and quality of life.
To review the functioning of this initiative at the grassroots level, Commissioner JMC, Dr. Devansh Yadav visited the street light repair camp organized at Roopnagar. The camp witnessed active participation of former councillors, local residents and community leaders, who welcomed this initiative and expressed their appreciation for the Corporation’s citizen-friendly approach.
During the inspection, Dr. Yadav interacted with municipal employees managing the camp as well as the residents registering their complaints. He personally reviewed the complaint registration mechanism and assured people that their grievances would be resolved on priority.
The Commissioner directed the officials present to ensure that all registered complaints are resolved within 15 days. Stressing the importance of accountability, he instructed teams to monitor progress ward-wise and to submit regular reports on resolved cases.
He also appealed to the public to take maximum benefit of this facility, encouraging citizens to register their complaints either by visiting these ward-level camps or by using the online complaint registration system provided by JMC.
Under this special drive, street light repair camps are being set up in every ward of Jammu city, providing residents a convenient platform to register their grievances locally. At the same time, JMC has strengthened its online complaint system, making it possible for people to register issues digitally without visiting the camps. This dual approach is designed to make the process more inclusive, transparent and efficient.
