Jammu, January 09: Reiterating  the government’s commitment to build Green, Resilient and  Inclusive cities, the Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha today said that continuous efforts are being made to transform urban areas into accelerators of economic growth, improve quality of life and overall prosperity for people, he noted.
Addressing the gathering after laying the foundation stone for upgradation of Transport Nagar in Jammu here today, Lt Governor said that         once completed, the upgradation project involving road, drainage network and street lighting will reinstate the glory of Transport Nagar as a business hub. It will also provide convenience to the common citizens and the businessmen coming from outside of the Union Territory, he added.
          The Lt Governor also highlighted the significant role of the people in realizing the vision of developing vibrant & sustainable cities.
          “Smart city projects in Jammu and Srinagar are poised for a big leap. Effective planning, efficient management of resources, fine balance between heritage, ecology and pace of development and public participation will lead towards equitable and sustainable development”, the Lt Governor said.
 ‘’ Centers of commercial activities are the biggest strength of our socio-economic system and their development is directly linked to prosperity of common man & efficiency of Government machinery. Our focus is on translating the sustainable city’s roadmap into the roadmap for development of UT, ‘’ he said.
 “   Citizen participation is essential in making cities more attractive, promoting investment, mitigating the effects of climate change and generating revenue for local services. Cities are not just geographical spaces but also centers of economic activities and cultural prosperity. The city provides opportunities to the citizens and fulfils the aspirations of its residents,”observed the Lt Governor.
 Under the guidance of Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, cleanliness drive has become a people’s movement and  its socio-cultural impact on the ground is heartening, the Lt Governor said, adding,    that we all must put united and collective efforts to make Jammu a truly smart City and also transform Jammu into the cleanest city, he added.
          The Lt Governor appealed to the people of J&K to join the efforts to beautify their cities and also take advantage of facilities extended by the Municipal Corporations.
        The Lt Governor also highlighted the reforms introduced for the holistic development of J&K and the revolutionary steps taken to transform the Agriculture sector and business activities.
        ‘The era of discrimination between the regions has gone. We believe in equitable development and equal opportunity for all’, said the Lt Governor.
       ‘’ It is our resolve to make J&K corruption-free. The Public Services Guarantee Act will be implemented in letter and spirit for ensuring public services to citizens, ‘’he added.
      Rajinder Sharma, Mayor, JMC, speaking on the occasion congratulated the business enterprises and other stakeholders on upgradation work of Transport Nagar.
   Dr Arun Kumar Mehta, Chief Secretary spoke on transforming Jammu City into one of the best cities of the country in terms of sanitation, amenities, and tourism development. Many new projects will be completed soon, he added.
