SRINAGAR: Jammu & Kashmir recently has become a popular destination for parliamentary committees to hold meetings and conduct study tours. As the budget session draws to a close on Thursday, a parliamentary committee from the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways is currently meeting in the scenic tourist resort of Sonamarg, located in central Kashmir’s Ganderbal district.
The committee, headed by Union Minister of Road Transport and Highways, Nitin Gadkari, includes MPs from Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha and will be in J&K from April 9 to 11. The meeting will discuss various issues such as the implementation of the vehicle scrapping policy, the review of Bharatmala Pariyojana, and the new bus ports policy. Apart from Gadkari and his deputy V.K. Singh, the committee comprises 21 MPs from Lok Sabha and three from Rajya Sabha.
Officials from the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways, National Highways Authority of India, National Highway Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited, and other agencies are expected to attend the meeting, which is being held in Sonamarg.
The J&K administration is fully prepared to host the meeting, with the General Administration Department and the Roads & Buildings Department appointing a team of officers to ensure a smooth visit. Details suggest that the meeting may also discuss other issues, besides those mentioned above. (KNO)
