Jammu Chamber of Commerce discusses city infrastructure and smart city projects

Arun Gupta, president of the Chamber of Commerce & Industry, met with the JMC Commissioner in Jammu on October 31, 2026. During the meeting, Gupta highlighted several city issues, including the need for the urgent removal of fire debris from Shiv Market Railway Station Jammu. He also raised concerns about the deteriorating condition of lanes and main holes under the Jammu smart city project and the need to clear drainage systems in specific neighborhoods.

The discussion centered on critical municipal infrastructure, such as road repair, drainage, and street lighting, which directly impacts the movement of the public and the operational environment for businesses in Jammu. Gupta also suggested that smart city funds might be better allocated to new areas rather than those where implementation is unnecessary.
