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 called on Devansh Yadav, Commissioner Jammu Municipal Corporation and submitted Memorandum regarding over all development of Jammu City in Jammu today .
Rahul Sahai extended heartfelt congratulations to Devansh Yadav on his appointment as Commissioner of Jammu Municipal Corporation. PHDCCI delegation said that they are confident that under his dynamic leadership, the JMC will reach new heights of success.
Rahul Sahai said, “ In light of your new role, we would like to bring to your attention several suggestions aimed at the overall development of Jammu City. We believe these initiatives will contribute significantly to the city’s growth and the welfare of its residents.”
Rahul Sahai firstly 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. Additionally, he suggested the formation of a JMC Advisory Panel comprising retired engineers, chamber members, market associations, and prominent citizens. Such a panel could offer valuable insights and guidance.
PHDCCI Delegation Furthermore 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. We also recommend a thorough review of the ongoing Jammu Smart City projects. Recent footpath installations, for instance, have resulted in the narrowing of streets due to inadequate planning in areas like Gandhi nagar etc . Sahai said a public session showcasing completed Smart City projects would be beneficial in ensuring transparency and accountability.
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.
