Jammu- The Union Territory Lieutenant Governor, Manoj Sinha on Saturday approved a proposal to purchase land for construction of a new building for J&K Guest House in New Delhi.
The proposal of the Hospitality & Protocol Department to purchase land for construction of a new building of J&K Guest House in the National Capital was approved in the Administrative Council (AC) meeting chaired by LG Sinha on Saturday. The estimated cost of the project is Rs 26 crore.
LG’s Advisor Rajeev Rai Bhatnagar, Chief Secretary Dr. Arun Kumar Mehta, IAS Principal Secretary to LG Dr. Mandeep Kumar Bhandari attended the meeting.
Pertinently, a significant portion of the J&K Guest House at Chanakyapuri (CPGH), New Delhi, was apportioned to the Union Territory of Ladakh following the enactment of the J&K Reorganisation Act, 2019. Consequently, the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir retained only 10 staff quarters and Block-C of CPGH.
“The additional building will optimize accommodation for common citizens and patients of UT of J&K who frequent the National Capital City, enhancing the overall availability of lodging facilities,” an official spokesperson said.
