Srinagar, Jan 20: The Jammu and Kashmir Cabinet, chaired by the Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Monday approved a series of proposals during a meeting held on Monday in Jammu.

He said that the Cabinet also approved the introduction of a three-tier faculty structure for Government Dental College in Srinagar and Indira Gandhi Government Dental College in Jammu.
The Housing and Urban Development Department received administrative approval for several ambitious projects, he said adding that it include bio-mining and remediation of 11 lakh metric tons of legacy waste at the Achan landfill in Srinagar at an estimated cost of ₹60.50 crore.
The Cabinet also sanctioned projects for pollution abatement and conservation of water bodies, including the Jhelum River in Srinagar and Banganga River in Katra with the combined cost pegged at ₹156.56 crore, with funds being sourced from national conservation programs, he said.
