Jammu: Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Thursday approved a used water management project, which includes the establishment of a ₹19.99 crore sewage treatment plant for Ganderbal town in central Kashmir.
“This initiative will ensure proper treatment of wastewater, keep our rivers clean, and enhance public health and sanitation,” the Office of the Chief Minister said in a post on X.
The government also cleared the Chief Minister’s scheme for the introduction of heritage courses under the Skill Development Department.
“The scheme aims to revive seven traditional craft courses across 25 government ITIs and polytechnics, with an intake capacity of 500 students. It will also provide stipends to trainees and honorariums to instructors,” another post stated.
The initiative has been described as “a step towards preserving heritage and promoting skill-based livelihoods in Jammu and Kashmir.”
