Moreover, in several far-flung areas of the State poor people are going through tough times due to the indifferent attitude of the government as the quota of ration and other essential commodities are being denied to them. Soaring prices have made the life of people extremely difficult and the Government should immediately ensure that people get their share of ration. However, non-expedite work of development project is one the biggest block on the path of development, Whereas, it need Speeding up the work on the several prestigious road projects being undertaken in Jammu division so that the connectivity of the area gets requisite boost besides also shortening the travel time for the commuters.
Pertinently, delay of new road projects like Dayalachak-Challan-Udhampur, Lakhanpur-Basohli, and the important Jammu-Akhnoor four laning is proof of flaws.
Several other projects stand undertaken in R&B sector in the State which would increase the intra and interstate connectivity giving fillip to economic, tourism and related activities should be complete within timeframe.
