CM Omar Abdullah emphasizes inclusive budget consultations in Jammu
The Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir, Omar Abdullah, recently held meetings with local leaders to discuss the upcoming budget.
These meetings are important because they help the government understand what people need most.
The Chief Minister said that these meetings are not just a formality but a way to make sure everyone's ideas are considered.
He thanked the local leaders for their suggestions, which included building better roads, improving schools, and providing clean water.
The government will try to include as many of these ideas as possible in the budget, even though they might not be able to do everything due to limited funds.
The Chief Minister also mentioned that a large amount of money has been set aside to help repair areas damaged by natural disasters like snow and floods.
The goal is to make sure that Jammu and Kashmir and its people benefit from the budget.
CM Omar Abdullah concluded pre-budget consultations with MLAs from eight districts of Jammu division.
The consultations aim to gather inputs for inclusive and participatory budget formulation.

The government will prioritize feasible suggestions and complete ongoing projects from last year's budget.
A Rs 1,430-crore relief package will be used to repair areas affected by natural disasters.
