JAMMU, Jan 19: Minister of State for Transport (Independent charge), Revenue, Public Works (Roads & Buildings), Rural Development & Panchayati Raj, Agriculture Production and YSS Sunil Kumar Sharma today said the government is contemplating to strengthen the fleet of Jammu and Kashmir State Road Transport Corporation (SRTC) to extend its operation in uncovered areas.
He said all the major routes in Kishtwar and Inderwal constituencies would be brought under SRTC map after strengthening its fleet.
