Jammu & Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha laid the foundation stone of a 936 transit accommodation for the Kashmir Pandit employees at Zewan in Srinagar on Friday.
This will benefit the employees working under the PM’s Reconstruction Plan in Jammu & Kashmir following the recent orgy of incidents of targeted killings by the terrorists.
The housing colony, under PMDP, is being constructed on 113 Kanals of land, which will have 39 blocks comprising 936 flats.
Sinha, further, interacted with officials at the construction site and laid emphasis on timely completion of the project. He said the maximum PM Package employees are based in Srinagar and with this facility, their housing problem will be solved.
Earlier in the month of December, he conducted an on-site inspection and took first hand appraisal of the ongoing construction work of transit accommodations for PM Package employees at Baramulla and Bandipora.
Arun Kumar Mehta, Chief Secretary; Pandurang K Pole, Divisional Commissioner Kashmir; Vijay Kumar, ADGP, Kashmir; Nazim Zai Khan, Secretary to Government, Department of Disaster Management, Relief, Rehabilitation & Reconstruction were present on the occasion.
