Jammu, 23-08-2024: Commissioner of Jammu Municipal Corporation (JMC), Dr. Devansh Yadav, undertook an extensive tour of various wards in Jammu South today, focusing on enhancing health and sanitation measures managed by the JMC and addressing complaints lodged through the JMC online portal.
During his visit, Dr. Yadav covered key areas including Transport Nagar (Ward Number 49), Channi Himmat (Ward Number 50), and Trikuta Nagar (Ward Numbers 53 and 54). The tour provided an opportunity for local residents to directly communicate their concerns and suggestions, thereby reinforcing the connection between the JMC and the community it serves.
Emphasizing the JMC’s commitment to public service, Dr. Yadav urged residents to actively participate in waste management by segregating waste at the source and utilizing JMC’s dedicated vehicles for disposal. He cautioned against dumping waste, especially polythene, in lanes to prevent drain blockages and avoid traffic disruptions.
In Transport Nagar, Dr. Yadav inspected a ‘nallah’ where the protective wall had eroded and issued directives for the installation of CCTV cameras to monitor illegal dumping of vehicles, construction materials, and waste. The goal is to identify violators through their license plates and impose appropriate fines.
At Ward No. 49 in Channi Rama, near AM Hyundai, Dr. Yadav called for land demarcation to identify encroachments and instructed local authorities to prevent water overflow. In Channi Himmat (Ward No. 50), he directed the cleaning of lanes, removal of debris from drains, and issued notices against unauthorized constructions.
In Ward No. 54, Dr. Yadav emphasized public safety by ordering the temporary restoration of the underpass and the protection wall of the ‘nallah’. Additionally, he directed immediate measures to resolve water overflow caused by blocked hume pipes on the main road.
A delegation from the Mohalla Welfare Society in Trikuta Nagar presented their grievances to Dr. Yadav. Responding promptly, he ordered the temporary restoration of the underpass and protection wall in Ward No. 54 and instructed the relevant authorities to address the water overflow issues.
Dr. Yadav was accompanied by Joint Commissioner Abdul Sattar, Joint Commissioner Firdous Ahmed Qazi, Health Officer Dr. Vinod Sharma, and other senior officers during the tour.
