It is so unfortunate that the mega projects that are announced with great fanfare are easily forgotten afterwards. The case in point here is the ring road in Kashmir province. A year back PM announced the project and a year later we are at a stage where even the land for the project is not there to start work on. The pathetic state of affairs in Kashmir comes in bold relief when we compare the same projects in another part of the same J&K state. The work on the ring road has taken off in Jammu, but Kashmir is still far away from breaking the ground. The reasons for this delay, as explained by the officials, is the compensation.
