Official told Cross Town News that the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir stands at a critical juncture in its developmental trajectory and With a rich historical heritage, diverse cultural landscape, and abundant natural beauty, the region has immense potential for growth and modernization.
Official further told Cross Town News that "However, to unlock this potential, there is a pressing need for innovative urban planning and sustainable development strategies that can address the challenges of land fragmentation, inadequate infrastructure, and uneven economic development. In this context, the introduction of a Land Pooling Policy marks a significant milestone. This policy aims to harness the expertise, resources, and efficiency of private developers to create well-planned, vibrant urban spaces that meet the needs of our growing population. By consolidating fragmented land parcels and ensuring equitable development, the policy seeks to transform the urban landscape of Jammu and Kashmir, fostering economic growth, enhancing the quality of life for residents, and preserving the region's environmental and cultural integrity.
The policy is designed with a vision of inclusive and sustainable development. It emphasizes the importance of collaboration between landowners, private developers, and the government to achieve common goals. By ensuring that landowners receive a fair share of the developed land and benefits, the policy aims to promote widespread participation and mitigate potential conflicts. Additionally, it incorporates robust regulatory frameworks and safeguards to address environmental concerns and ensure that development is in harmony with the region's unique ecological and cultural context. This draft policy is the result of extensive consultations with stakeholders, including landowners, urban planners, environmentalists, and private developers. It reflects a commitment to transparency, fairness, and inclusivity. We believe that with the right implementation and continuous feedback, this policy can serve as a catalyst for the transformation of Jammu and Kashmir's urban areas into modern, livable, and economically vibrant spaces.
As we present this draft policy, we invite further inputs and suggestions from all stakeholders to refine and enhance its provisions. Together, we can pave the way for a brighter, more prosperous future for Jammu and Kashmir, where development is not just an aspiration but a shared reality."
