Jammu, December 8,2025 : Reaffirming the administration’s commitment to uplifting economically weaker sections, the Lieutenant Governor today laid the foundation stone for 350 new houses in Jammu district. These houses will be provided free of cost to families whose homes were destroyed during natural calamities and Operation Sindoor.
The initiative is part of a larger mission to bring transformative change to the lives of the poor.
