Shri. Atal Dulloo, Chief Secretary, J&K, today inaugurated two major digital platforms developed by the Housing & Urban Development Department aimed at strengthening transparency, efficiency and Ease of Doing Business (EoDB) in urban governance across Jammu & Kashmir.

The platforms include the Auto Scrutiny-based Building Permission & Change of Land Use (CLU) Portal, integrated with GIS-based Master Plans using AutoDCR technology, and the Unified Web Portal of H&UDD, J&K. The Auto Scrutiny system will enable automated scrutiny of building plans submitted in AutoCAD format and verify compliance with the J&K Unified Building Bye-Laws and Master Plan regulations, ensuring faster approvals and improved regulatory compliance.

The Unified Web Portal, developed under the National Urban Digital Mission (NUDM), will serve as a single digital gateway for accessing urban governance services across the Union Territory. The portal integrates key initiatives including UPYOG-based systems, digital finance and accounting modules for Urban Local Bodies, and upcoming QR code–based digital payment systems for municipal services.

The event was attended by Ms. Mandeep Kaur, IAS, Commissioner Secretary, Housing & Urban Development Department, along with senior officials including Commissioner JMC, Vice Chairman JDA, Director Urban Local Bodies and other officers of the department. These initiatives mark a significant step towards the digital transformation of urban governance in J&K, aimed at improving service delivery, enhancing transparency and empowering citizens.

When Rubal Mahajan stepped into Jammu’s polluted rivers alongside her daughters, she wasn’t just cleaning water - she was setting an example. What began as a simple act of responsibility soon became a powerful message for the entire community.

Her initiative reminds us that change doesn’t always begin with big campaigns; sometimes, it begins with one family choosing to care. It calls on all of us to protect our water bodies, stop littering, and take pride in keeping our city clean.

Because every small action today can shape a cleaner, healthier J&K for tomorrow.
