Kulgam, March 19: District Development Commissioner (DDC) Kulgam, Athar Aamir Khan (IAS), today chaired a review meeting to assess the progress of the Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) 2.0 water supply projects in the district.

During the meeting, in-depth discussions were held regarding the status of various approved schemes under AMRUT 2.0, with a focus on key developments and challenges faced. The DDC was informed that four major works in the towns of Kulgam, Frisal, Yaripora, and Devsar had to be retendered due to a slow response from bidders earlier.
