361 करोड़ का सॉलिड वेस्ट मैनेजमेंट प्रोजेक्ट भी अहम है। श्रीनगर में कचरे का सही निपटान बहुत ज़रूरी था। लेकिन यह सुनिश्चित करना होगा कि इस पैसे का उपयोग पारदर्शी तरीके से हो और प्रोजेक्ट समय पर पूरा हो। हज़रतबाल में सब-डिस्ट्रिक्ट हॉस्पिटल का काम भी जल्दी शुरू होना चाहिए।

बिजली के बुनियादी ढांचे में निवेश तो अच्छा है, लेकिन क्या सिर्फ श्रीनगर और आसपास पर ध्यान देना सही है? जम्मू और कश्मीर के दूरदराज के इलाकों में भी बिजली की समस्या है। उम्मीद है कि सरकार का ध्यान पूरे राज्य पर होगा, सिर्फ शहरी इलाकों पर नहीं।

मुगलकालीन मस्जिद की बहाली की बात सुनकर अच्छा लगा। हमारी विरासत को संभालना बहुत जरूरी है। लेकिन सरकार को यह भी देखना चाहिए कि बिजली और स्वास्थ्य जैसी बुनियादी सुविधाओं पर खर्च किए गए पैसे का सही उपयोग हो। भ्रष्टाचार पर लगाम जरूरी है।
