Dulloo made these remarks while speaking in a meeting held to review progress on flagship housing schemes being implemented by the department.

Among others, the meeting was attended by Commissioner Secretary H&UDD, Divisional Commissioner Kashmir/Jammu, MD Housing Board and CTPs.

During the meeting, the Chief Secretary maintained that since the population of urban areas is increasing fast, there is significant rise in demand for housing in cities. He stated that it is imperative on part of the department to come up with comprehensive plans to meet the needs of public especially the urban poor.

Dulloo said that the unplanned construction of houses in cities is putting lot of pressure on the already shrinking land resources. In view of it, the department has the added responsibility of providing affordable and planned housing provisions to people in urban areas.

The Chief Secretary also took stock of ongoing projects of housing colonies being raised by the Board in different parts of the UT. He called for expediting work on these projects besides planning for raising more flatted accommodations for the city dwellers and other categories of population coming to cities to study or earn their livelihood.

During the meeting, Commissioner Secretary H&UDD, Mandeep Kaur, informed the meeting about all the schemes and projects currently under implementation in the UT.
