The chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir recently visited the site of the new legislative assembly complex to assess the pace of work. Accompanied by senior officials, he examined structural components, finishing works and the readiness of essential facilities.
He noted that construction is progressing on schedule, with major civil works nearing completion and interior fit‑out slated to begin later this year. The administration expects the building to be fully operational well before the next budget cycle.
