New Legislative Assembly Complex: J&K CM stresses timely completion, adherence to quality standards

Jammu, Nov 3 (UNI) Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Tuesday stressed the need for timely completion of the prestigious New Legislative Assembly Complex project while ensuring the highest standards of quality during an inspection and review of the ongoing construction work in Jammu.
During the inspection, the Chief Minister was briefed by the concerned officers on the status of construction and the measures being undertaken to accelerate the pace of work.
The Chief Minister emphasised the need for effective coordination among the concerned departments and the executing agency, systematic execution of works, and strict adherence to prescribed specifications. He underscored the importance of completing the project within the stipulated timeline, given its significance as a key institutional infrastructure for Jammu and Kashmir.
The New Legislative Assembly Complex, being constructed at a revised estimated cost of ₹208.53 crore, has a total built-up area of 22,165 square metres.
The project was initially taken up in 2012, but construction remained stalled since 2018.

Under the Omar Abdullah-led Government, work on the project resumed on February 15, 2026, with October 31, 2027, fixed as the scheduled date of completion.
An expenditure of ₹5.97 crore had been incurred on the project up to October 31, 2026.
The six-level complex will house a modern Assembly Hall, Central Hall, visitor and press galleries, committee rooms and advanced building management systems.
The Chief Minister directed the concerned departments and executing agency to maintain close coordination and ensure expeditious execution of the project without compromising on quality or the stipulated completion timeline.
He reiterated the Government’s commitment to strengthening institutional infrastructure and ensuring the timely completion of projects of public importance.
Speaker, Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly, Abdul Rahim Rather; Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Choudhary; Additional Chief Secretary to the Chief Minister Dheeraj Gupta; Additional Chief Secretary, Public Works Department, Anil Kumar Singh; Commissioner Secretary, General Administration Department, M. Raju; Secretary, Law Department, Achal Sethi; and other senior officers accompanied the Chief Minister during the inspection.
