While Jambu Zoo, river front project, four lanning of Jammu-Akhnoor road, Artificial Lake project, Jammu Gondola project, Jammu-Srinagar Highway project, Janipur-Ambphalla road projects and numerous other projects are in limbo and no headway has been made in Kashmir on various development projects of utmost importance.
