Union Minister Jitendra Singh has announced a series of major development projects for Jammu and Kashmir’s Kathua district, including connectivity to the Delhi-Amritsar Express Corridor and a gas pipeline network, saying these initiatives will significantly improve connectivity and economic activity in the region.
Addressing a public gathering in Kathua as part of an outreach programme to mark 12 years of the Narendra Modi-led government, Singh said the tender for a proposed Homeopathy College in the district has already been floated, and the foundation stone will be laid soon.
He added that the process of transferring land for the proposed Arun Jaitley Stadium in Hiranagar is also underway.
“The Delhi-Amritsar-Katra Express Corridor will substantially enhance regional connectivity and boost economic activities in Kathua,” Singh said.
He further announced that a gas pipeline project is expected to be implemented shortly, which will provide residents and industries with cleaner and more efficient energy access.
Highlighting the Centre’s achievements over the past 12 years under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Singh said a culture of transparent, accountable, and development-oriented governance has taken root across the country.
He mentioned that schemes such as Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana, PM SVANidhi Scheme, and Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana have significantly improved livelihoods, widened access to credit, and encouraged entrepreneurship.
Singh also described the introduction of two state-of-the-art Vande Bharat Express trains in Jammu and Kashmir as a major step towards modernising transport and improving connectivity for the people of the Union Territory.
