Border Villages at the Heart of Government of India’s Priorities: LG Kavinder Gupta

Thang (Nubra), Sep 11: Lieutenant Governor Kavinder Gupta has reaffirmed that border villages in Jammu & Kashmir remain a top priority for the Union Government. He said infrastructure, security, and livelihood improvements for these villages are central to long-term strategic plans.

Focus on Infrastructure and Security

LG Gupta emphasized that roads, telecommunications, and reliable power supply in border villages are being upgraded. Assistance is also being ramped up for fencing and patrolling to ensure safety and discourage infiltration. Special efforts are underway to ensure border-adjacent villages have strong communication networks.

Livelihood & Community Programs

The government is also implementing schemes aimed at boosting income in border regions, including support for farmers, provision of cold-storage facilities, subsidized inputs, and efforts to promote cottage industries. Younger populations are being considered for skill development programs tailored to remote border areas.

Challenges & Road Ahead

LG Gupta acknowledged obstacles such as harsh terrain, weather conditions, and resource constraints. He urged that implementation of projects be speeded up with community participation and transparency in execution to ensure credible impact. He also called for regular monitoring to avoid delays in initiative completion.
