JAMMU, Aug 30: A delegation led by Rahul Sahai Chair PHDCCI Jammu along with Anil Sharma, Samar Dev Charak, Ashish Jain, Raj Dua, Shantnu Gupta calls on Devansh Yadav, Commissioner Jammu Municipal Corporation and submitted a memorandum regarding over all development of Jammu city here today.
Sahai extended heartfelt congratulations to Devansh Yadav Commissioner Jammu Municipal Corporation on his appointment as Commissioner of Jammu Municipal Corporation. He proposed the introduction of a mechanism that enables households and shopkeepers to subscribe to JMC’s automated waste collection services, ideally through an app-based system. This would ensure more efficient and timely waste management across the city. He suggested the formation of a JMC Advisory Panel comprising retired engineers, chamber members, market associations and prominent citizens.
PHDCCI delegation submitted that there is a need for a robust customer care system, which includes real-time apps and toll-free numbers to address public grievances promptly. This will greatly enhance the efficiency and responsiveness of the JMC’s services. They also recommended a thorough review of the ongoing Jammu Smart City projects.
Sahai said as the JMC has notified unified bye-laws under RERA guidelines, we suggest organizing an educational session to help the public better understand these guidelines, particularly those involved in land plotting. In addition, expanding e-bus routes to include areas such as Bawe Temple and the industrial zones of Kathua, Samba, Bari Brahmana and Gangyal would greatly facilitate local employment and align with industrial operation timings.
Sahai said the ongoing Tawi Lake Project also requires urgent attention, particularly regarding the management of nallahs flowing into the river, which could lead to persistent water quality issues in the heart of the city. We also urge immediate action to address the rampant encroachments in Transport Nagar, where footpaths and roads are overtaken by vendors, leading to considerable disorder. Addressing these issues through an anti-encroachment drive and improving street lighting and public toilet facilities will be crucial steps toward restoring order in the Transport Nagar area. He also referred to the issue of street lights in the city.
