Srinagar, Oct. 24 -- Chief minister (CM) Omar Abdullah on Friday inaugurated and laid foundation stones for a series of infrastructure projects worth Rs.25 crore in Beerwah, Budgam, aimed at strengthening connectivity, improving electricity supply, enhancing civic amenities and boosting the area's tourism potential. The CM inaugurated a two-span truss girder bridge over Nallah Sukhnag, with each span measuring 35 metres worth Rs.8 crore. He also laid foundation stones for the beautification of Nallah Sukhnag, including the development of walkways and installation of lighting, and the beautification of Beerwah town at an estimated cost of around Rs.6.3 crore. Describing the bridge as a long-pending demand of the local population, the chief minister said its completion and opening to the public would improve connectivity and ease movement for residents. He added that the riverfront beautification project, featuring a walking track and decks, would enhance public spaces and make the area more attractive for visitors. The CM laid the foundation stone for a transformer repairing workshop at Beerwah, approved at a cost of Rs.4.8 crore under the UT Capex Budget 2026-27. The facility is envisaged as a dedicated centre for repairing and rebuilding damaged distribution transformers, helping reduce repair and replacement time and improve the reliability of electricity supply. Once operational, the workshop is expected to reclaim around 1,000 damaged distribution transformers annually, reducing outages and providing relief to consumers, particularly during the winter months. Another key project of construction of a 10 MVA Receiving Station at Sail, Beerwah, approved at a cost of Rs.4.5 crore, is expected to ease the load on neighbouring receiving stations, address winter overloading, improve voltage levels across Sail and adjoining villages, and reduce unscheduled power cuts and technical losses....
