Jammu : Additional Deputy Commissioner, Ansuya Jamwal, chaired a review meeting to ensure that all necessary arrangements for the upcoming holy month of Ramadan are in place.
The administration has already taken proactive measures to guarantee seamless observance of the holy month, focusing on sanitation, power supply, market regulation and traffic management.
To maintain cleanliness, the Jammu Municipal Corporation has been directed to complete drain repairs and sanitation work, particularly around mosques and congregation areas. Sewage and sanitation issues have been largely addressed, ensuring a hygienic environment for worshippers.
On the power supply front, the Power Development Department has been instructed to ensure uninterrupted electricity, particularly during Seheri. Preventive measures have been implemented to minimise outages and necessary repairs to loose and hanging wires have been carried out.
Traffic management arrangements are in place, with departments coordinating to prevent congestion near prayer venues and busy market areas.
Market regulation has also been strengthened. Regular inspections are underway to curb overpricing and prevent the sale of adulterated food products. The Legal Metrology Department officials have been directed to take strict action against violators to protect consumer interests.
To ensure proper oversight of preparations, SDM Jammu North Athar Amin and SDM Jammu South Rafiq Ahmad have been directed to personally visit all the mosques within their respective areas and assess on-ground arrangements.
For public grievance redressal, the JMC helpline (18001807207) will remain active during working hours to address any civic issues promptly.
The ADC stressed interdepartmental coordination to ensure smooth execution of all directives.
The meeting was attended by Assistant Commissioner General Vikas Dhar Bagati, SP Headquarters Irshad Hussain Rather besides other district officers and representatives from religious organisations.
