Jammu, Nov 3: Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Tuesday inspected the ongoing construction work of the new Legislative Assembly Complex in Jammu and reviewed the progress of the project, stressing the need for its completion within the stipulated timeframe.

During the inspection, the Chief Minister assessed the pace of construction and directed the concerned departments and executing agencies to strengthen coordination, expedite the remaining work and ensure strict adherence to the completion schedule.

The proposed six-level complex will feature a modern Assembly Hall, Central Hall, visitor and press galleries, committee rooms and advanced building management systems. These facilities are expected to provide improved infrastructure for legislative proceedings and administrative functioning.

The project, which had remained delayed for several years, gained fresh momentum after the present government granted revised administrative approval in 2025. The project was sanctioned at an estimated cost of Rs 208.53 crore.
