JAMMU, June 3: Seeking the cooperation of local residents of Gangyal, the corporator of the area and chairman, Sanitation Committee Jammu Municipal Corporation (JMC), Baldev Singh Billawaria succeeded in removing the encroachments from the road in the area for its widening to avoid the frequent traffic jams.
Baldev Singh Billawaria in a statement issued here, today said the main problem of the entry point of Gangyal area was the narrow road. The issue was raised many times by the people of the area, but due to shops and houses on both sides, the problem was not resolved. However, Billawaria came with a solution to the problem and people of the area were provided relief to a large extent.
Billawaria explained the shopkeepers that if the jams at the entry point of the area were to be reduced, people would have to break the covered lanes next to their shops and houses. Although at first the people refused but when Billawaria said that if they want to avoid the action of JMC, then they should cooperate with the department. People agreed and Billawaria pressed JCB into service and removed the encroachment in front of shops and houses.
Billawaria said the work of the area which was affected for a long time due to the sewer has been started, but the work of laying black topping is being started after the removal of encroachment. Now in a day or two, the work of black topping on the road will be started after which the vehicles will be able to easily move on the road, which will be a great relief for the people of the area.
He also complimented the shopkeepers and local residents for their cooperation.
