A recent report shows that over half of the Jal Jeevan Mission works in Jammu and Kashmir remain unfinished and the government is yet to release payments worth Rs 1,360 crore.
The Jal Jeevan Mission, launched by the central government to provide safe drinking water through piped supply, has been operational in Jammu and Kashmir for several years.
According to a Kashmir Life report, 54 per cent of the mission’s infrastructure works in the state are still incomplete, indicating a significant lag in implementation.
The same source notes that payments amounting to Rs 1,360 crore, earmarked for contractors and beneficiaries, have not been disbursed, raising concerns about cash flow and project timelines.
State officials have been urged to expedite the pending works and clear the outstanding dues to avoid further delays in delivering water services to rural households.
