JAMMU: In a significant step toward conserving disappearing water resources, the Jammu Municipal Corporation (JMC) has launched a comprehensive initiative to restore and rejuvenate traditional water bodies across the city.<\/p>\n

The Municipal Corporation aims to revive ponds, wells, and other natural water sources that are rapidly vanishing due to urbanization and changing climatic conditions.<\/p>\n

As part of the initiative, the foundation stone was laid today for the conservation and complete reconstruction of a historic pond in Ward No. 75, Durgochak area of Sangrampur.<\/p>\n

MLA Surendra Kumar, along with Municipal Commissioner Dr. Devansh Yadav, inaugurated the project in the presence of senior officials.<\/p>\n

With an approved budget of Rs. 23.36 lakh, the rejuvenation plan includes desilting and cleaning of the pond, installation of guardrails, construction of a walkway, plantation of ornamental flora, and the development of green landscaped banks. The project aims to restore the ecological balance of the water body while also transforming it into a clean and attractive recreational spot for the local community.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the occasion, the MLA highlighted the need for public cooperation in maintaining and protecting water bodies. He urged residents to refrain from dumping waste near ponds and to actively participate in conserving these vital natural assets. He emphasized that safeguarding water sources is a shared responsibility crucial for sustainable urban living.<\/p>\n

To further improve urban infrastructure in the area, 300 streetlights were also handed over for installation in the ward. Dr. Devansh Yadav, Commissioner JMC, reiterated the Corporation\u2019s commitment to enhancing civic amenities across all wards. He said that the installation of streetlights is being expedited throughout Jammu to enhance public safety and ensure well-lit streets.<\/p>\n

Prominent among those present were Joint Commissioner (W) Firdous Ahmad Qazi, Executive Engineer Electrical Simarpal Singh, Executive Engineer Division III Akhil Dutt, and other officials.<\/p>\n
