Ms. Mathoora Masoom

In line with the National Policy regarding devolution of powers to the Urban Local Bodies, the State Government had enacted the J&K Municipal Act 2000 and J&K Municipal Corporation Act 2000. The election to these local bodies was, however, held only this year. By now, most of the elected institutions of Urban Local Bodies are functional.

The Good Governance in the Urban Local Bodies involves increased participation of the citizens, greater accountability and transparency in the operation of these bodies. In line with the transparency in the operation of these bodies. In line with the national policy, the State Government has agreed to initiate a programme of reforms in the Municipal Bodies to achieve these objectives. These reform measures would include steps to raise resources by the municipal bodies and to strengthen the accountability systems in these bodies.

The launching of the WEBSITE of the Directorate of Local Bodies is aimed at playing an important role in the reform process. The Website, in due course of time, will host the details of programmes undertaken in the municipalities along with relevant details with regard to the cost of works and other services provided by the municipalities. In addition, there would be a mechanism for the eliciting views and grievances of the citizens with regard to the functioning of the municipalities. It is hoped that these measures would bring about a greater participation of the citizens in the working of the Urban Local Bodies. In an age where information technology has become part of our daily life, it is hoped that the public at large will make full use of the facility being provided through the WEBSITE.

I wish the department of Local Bodies Kashmir all success in this initiative.

Shri Manoj Sinha

Despite a low level of industrial development, Jammu and Kashmir is urbanizing very fast. Every one out of four persons of our UT live in our towns and together they contribute as much as 68 percent of our GDP.

However one disturbing aspect of our urban growth is that many residents of the small towns and the surrounding villages are migrating to Srinagar and Jammu, which is stressing the limited infrastructure of our capital cities. This trend can be reversed if the physical and social infrastructure of our district and other towns are improved.

During the past three years we have taken a number of important initiatives in this direction. Encroachments from public places in the towns have been improved, health and sanitation conditions have been improved and a large number of development projects have been taken up to give a much-needed facelift to our towns.

Elections to the Municipal Councils and Municipal Committees have been held after a gap of nearly three decades and a system of transparency and accountability in urban governance has been introduced.

In this context the web site of the Directorate of Urban Local Bodies in Kashmir would be a step forward for further modernizing and streamlining the administration of our towns. The website would provide information on various aspects of the governance of towns and eventually many civic services can be provided on line through the Internet.

This is the first step towards e-governance of our towns. I congratulate the Directorate of Urban Local Bodies of Kashmir Division for taking this important initiative and hope that similar initiatives shall be taken in other towns in near future. I also hope that the web site shall be updated regularly and various on line services shall be introduced for the facility of the citizens.
