JAMMU LINKS NEWS | Jammu and Kashmir Governor N N Vohra today called for coordinated efforts to put the hilly Doda district back on the development track.

The officers need to lead from the front in reaching out to the people to mitigate their problems and infuse new life in the institutions at the cutting edge level to address the developmental concerns of the public, said Vohra, addressing an officers' meeting.

Continuing his public outreach programme, Vohra today visited Doda for a first-hand appraisal of the pace of various developmental works in the hilly district.

Given the mountainous topography of the district and difficulty in reaching some its remote areas, the Governor sought specific details about the progress of various road building projects in the district, particularly those financed by the Central Road Fund, NABARD's Rural Infrastructure Development Fund and the PMGSY.

The pace of development works should be expedited and the officers should regularly conduct field visits to keep track of the progress in works, he said.

The governor also emphasised upon the officers to put in coordinated efforts to address various bottlenecks in executing the works within their deadlines..
