Earlier the work was executed in double shift basis which has now been reduced to a single shift, they said, adding that main object of this city beautification project was to come up with different tourist circuits in Jammu.
“If same policy prevailed then this project will miss December deadline as UEED has still to start work on 15 dirty city nallahs for their diversion otherwise they will create filth and dirt prone lake”, they added.
They urged the Government to take immediate steps to complete the lake project at the earliest by releasing the required funds.
