Two road schemes financed by NABARD in Jammu and Kashmir have been abandoned after a total outlay of Rs 1.66 crore, reports Kashmir Life.
The National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) had approved two road construction projects in the union territory of Jammu and Kashmir. According to a report by Kashmir Life, the initiatives have now been discontinued after a combined expenditure of Rs 1.66 crore.
The decision to abandon the projects was taken after the funds were already deployed, though the specific reasons for the halt have not been disclosed in the source. The abandonment marks a setback for the local infrastructure agenda that relied on central agricultural financing.
Local officials are expected to assess the impact of the halted work on connectivity and to consider alternative funding or re‑prioritisation of the affected routes. Further details on the future of the sites remain pending.
Stakeholders, including community members and transport users, have been informed of the stoppage, but no official statement from NABARD or the Jammu and Kashmir administration has been released at this stage.
