Healthcare system

The government is moving very rapidly to build infrastructure in Jammu and Kashmir but there is a special focus to upgrade the healthcare system.

Recently LG Manoj Sinha inaugurated many such projects. Installation of 29 Oxygen Generation Plants in CHCs and SDHs of various remote areas of the UT will add 11,000 LPM to the existing capacity. The vital road projects will strengthen road connectivity to flood-prone areas and provide the people living there with faster and improved access to markets, health and educational facilities. Besides, Decision Support System, Multi Hazard Risk Assessment Report & Disaster Risk Database, and Upgraded Building Codes for J&K will improve the disaster management response in J&K.

He directed J&K ERA and JTFRP to identify left out bridges and roads damaged during 2014 floods and take up their upgradation and construction works on priority.

Experts must be deputed to conduct a detailed study, make necessary interventions and find solutions to develop a strong Disaster Risk Mitigation mechanism for Jhelum and Tawi River.

Implementation of JTFRP has witnessed a dramatic turnaround  with 90% of procurement and 80% of disbursements under the project having been undertaken during the year 2020-21 as against 10% of procurement and 20% disbursements achieved during the initial four years of the project i.e. from 2016-19.
