Srinagar, March 11: The Jammu and Kashmir government has sanctioned a major boost to infrastructure development under NABARD’s RIDF-XXIX, with 194 road and bridge projects worth Rs 1022.63 crore approved for execution across the Union Territory.
Responding to a query raised by MLA Uri, Dr. Sajad Shafi, the Minister in charge of Public Works (R&B) Department informed the Assembly that significant projects have been cleared under the NABARD-funded scheme, focusing on road connectivity and infrastructure enhancement.
“Under RIDF-XXIX, a total of 194 projects with an estimated cost of Rs 1022.63 crore have been approved for Jammu and Kashmir. This includes two road projects in Uri Constituency, sanctioned at a cost of Rs 6.45 crore,” the Minister said.
Providing details specific to Baramulla district, the Minister revealed that 10 projects worth Rs 50.43 crore have been approved for execution.
“These projects aim to improve road connectivity and infrastructure in key areas, ensuring better accessibility and boosting local development,” he added.
The Minister further emphasized that infrastructure development remains a priority for the government, and the execution of these projects will be closely monitored to ensure timely completion.
The Minister reassured the Assembly, “The government remains committed to infrastructure development, and all approved projects will be executed in a time-bound manner for the benefit of the people.”
In another question, government said that there is currently no proposal under consideration for the construction of a ropeway foot bridge between Uri and Lagama in north Kashmir’s Baramulla district.
This was stated in response to an unstarred question (A.Q. No: 1164) posed by MLA Uri Dr. Shafi regarding the connectivity and economic impact of such a project.
Replying to the question, the Minister in charge said, “Uri and Lagama towns, located 5 km apart, are already connected by NH-1, which is being upgraded to a two-lane road with a paved shoulder.
“The construction of a ropeway foot bridge was considered, and specifications have already been taken up by Project BEACON. However, at present, there is no proposal under consideration for a ropeway between the two towns,” he said.
The Minister further said better connectivity is crucial for trade and business growth in the region, the government’s current focus is on road infrastructure improvement rather than the construction of a ropeway foot bridge.
Local residents, however, have expressed their concerns over the lack of a dedicated pedestrian connection between Uri and Lagama.
Yasir Tak, a local, said there is a need for a bridge between Uri and Lagama. A ropeway foot bridge would make commuting easier and help small traders and shopkeepers. Many people, including students and elderly citizens, struggle to cross between these towns safely, he said.
Another local trader Bashir Ahmad said the ropeway bridge would boost trade and tourism in the area. It would provide an alternative route for pedestrians, especially during harsh winters when road connectivity becomes difficult. We urge the authorities to reconsider this proposal, he added.
