Furthermore, while some residents face a lack of access to drinking water, others waste it unnecessarily. He urged everyone to diligently fulfill their civic responsibilities in order to transform India into a developed nation.

Baru also ensured residents for early completion of ongoing work of sewerage project, desilting of said Nallah before rainy season and would soon see positive results, regarding the upgradation of lanes and drains, he mentioned that the matter had been taken up with the JMC authorities with the intervention of MLA Jammu west Arvind Gupta, and the required funds for the project had been approved in this year’s CAPEX budget.
