JAMMU, Dec 13: A delegation of PHD Chamber of Commerce & Industry, Jammu Region, today called on Mayor Jammu Municipal Corporation, Chander Mohan Gupta and suggested redrafting of Jammu Master Plan.
The delegation, comprising of PHDCCI Chairman Vikrant Kuthiala, president Hotel Association Katra & Co-Chairman PHDCCI Rakesh Wazir, Co-Chairman Kuldeep Gupta and others explained that the Master Plan Jammu was totally impractical and thus needed to be re-drafted after taking proper feed backs and objections from the people. “When it was passed, the people were not even properly informed for that and they came to know when it had already been passed and thus they could not file their objections even,” the PHDCCI added..
Kuthiala said that expeditious extension of runway at Jammu Airport along-with up-gradation of ILS system and night landing facilities are immediately required. He further said that Jammu Airport continues to be the only Airport in the country with no facility for visitors to either drop off or receiving passengers and the vehicles are made to stand on the main road. “When most sensitive Air ports like Srinagar etc allow the vehicles to go up to the Terminal point, then why this facility should not be made available at the Jammu Airport?” he asked.
Rakesh Wazir said that NHIDCL be directed to maintain the existing Jammu-Akhnoor road in good condition till alternate road is constructed besides repair/development of presently operational alternate road along left side of canal for vehicular movement from Toph Bridge towards Canal Head.
