The Jammu and Kashmir government is focusing on faster and balanced development of remote areas in the state, chief minister Omar Abdullah said here today.
"Fast track development of far-flung areas is our priority concern. While measures have been initiated to upgrade the five important sectors of road communication, health, education, water and power supply, steps are also afoot to ensure integrated development of horticulture, agriculture and allied sectors in rural areas," he said.
In his meeting with a delegation from Banihal led by MLA Viqar Rasool, Abdullah said under a comprehensive rural development strategy put in place by the government, the necessary thrust has been given on providing basic amenities to the people.
