The
Planning Commission has given investment clearance to “Construction of Flood Protection Works in the form of Embankment, Spurs
and Revetment to project Defence Posts along river Basanter and Devak
in J&K.
Estimated to cost of Rs 8 crore, the project will be completed by 2013-14 and plan accounts will be closed by 31st March 2014. The project may accordingly be executed as per the approved outlays in the State Annual Plan. The State Finance Department would restrict the expenditure to the approved cost and no additional expenditure beyond approved cost may be permitted.
For ensuring safer passage of flood water through villages as well as intra village and inter village drainage of flood water, the State Government should provide non-return valves at suitable locations of the flood embankment so that flood water from country side may discharge into the main channel.
Work may also be done to strengthen local drainage within villages. MGNREGA funds may be used for this purpose as this is a permissible activity under the recently issued Operational Guidelines for MGNREGS. Regular maintenance should be ensured by State Govt. before and after each monsoon season as well as even during execution, a PIB release said.
