Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Thursday inaugurated the recommencement of balance work of Tawi Barrage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sinha said that recommencement of Tawi Barrage is a significant occasion for Jammu city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The ambitious project, which was delayed for more than a decade, will enhance scenic beauty, increase tourism potential of the city of temples and it will also ensure creation of recreational spots for people, the Lt. Governor added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today\u2019s initiative is a part of the government\u2019s endeavour to develop urban centres as engines of economic growth and make the cities ecologically and economically sustainable, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The new and robust infrastructure will cater to tourists as well the local population, making the citizens partners in the conservation and development of water bodies, Sinha added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Noting that the legacy of project delays in J&K has hampered the economy of the region and kept people away from the basic facilities, the Lt Governor asserted that project delays which were earlier considered a norm is now a thing of the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Union Territory has achieved new strides in project implementation, while only 9,229 projects were completed in 2018-19, more than 50,000 projects have been completed in 2021-22, registering a substantial five-fold increase, Sinha said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The proposed Tawi Barrage will create a pondage of 1.41 million cubic metres. It will be an auto-mechanical and manual operated gated barrage controlled through SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system and the project is scheduled to be commissioned by mid-July 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
