Baramulla, Jun 30: To ensure the efficient utilization of the District Mineral Fund (DMF) for the development of mining-affected areas, Deputy Commissioner Baramulla, Minga Sherpa, Monday chaired a review meeting at the Meeting Hall of the DC Office Complex.
The meeting was attended by the Joint Director Planning, Superintending Engineer R&B, District Programme Officer (ICDS), Chief Medical Officer, District Mineral Officer and other concerned Officers.
At the outset, the DC conducted a comprehensive review of each developmental activity undertaken in the district using the District Mineral Fund for the financial year 2024-25.
The DC directed the concerned officers that all works approved under the previous financial year 2024–25 must be financially completed, and all associated liabilities should be cleared so that benefit of the works percolate the target population.
For the current financial year, the DC further emphasized the need to prioritize and take up more impactful and community-oriented works aimed at improving the living conditions in mining-affected areas.
Minga Sherpa underscored that main focus should be on repair and upgradation of critical road infrastructure, provisioning dedicated ambulances to enhance emergency healthcare access and deploying water tankers to ensure regular and adequate water supply for the affected communities.
