The Jammu and Kashmir Government informed the legislative assembly on Thursday that work is ongoing on 45 projects, including forts and religious sites, as part of a scheme for the conservation of heritage sites in the Union Territory.
Seventy-three additional projects have been identified under Phase-II of the UT-level scheme for the revival, restoration, preservation, and maintenance of architecture and heritage. Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, who is also the minister in charge of the Department of Culture, stated this.
In a written reply to an unstarred question by National Conference legislator Farooq Ahmad Shah in the Assembly, Abdullah mentioned that no heritage conservation projects sanctioned by the central government are currently being executed by the Department of Culture or the Department of Tourism in Jammu and Kashmir.
