Jammu: The Jammu and
Kashmir government could not spend more than Rs.400 crore out of an
allocation for Rs.1,200 crore under the Prime Minister's
Reconstruction Plan (PMRP) for fiscal 2010-2011 due to the summer
violence last year, official data released here Thursday said.
The failure to spend Rs.800 crore has been attributed by the
planning department to the summer violence in Kashmir, when all
developmental activity came to a standstill.
The street protests coupled with violence, targetting public
property, disrupted life in the Kashmir Valley from June to October
last year and claimed over 100 lives.
The Valley, which experiences a severe winter has its peak working
season during summer.
The prime minister had allocated Rs.24,000 crore in 2004 for
reconstruction of infrastructure in Jammu and Kashmir and also
widening the developmental activities across the state, mostly in
the Valley which had suffered massive destruction during the peak of
militancy.
