In the statement on Modi’s visit to Jammu and Kashmir, the PMO said the government has been focused on bringing about wide-ranging reforms to substantially improve governance and enhance ease of living for the people of the region at an unprecedented pace following the “constitutional reforms” of August 2019, a reference to the abrogation of Article 370 and making the erstwhile state into a union territory.
The projects being inaugurated or whose foundation stones will be laid on this visit will go a long way in facilitating basic amenities, ensuring ease of mobility, and development of infrastructure in the region, it said.
