JAMMU, Apr 22: Jammu Development Authority (JDA) today retrieved around 50 kanals of land worth over Rs 25 crore in Udheywala Housing Colony.
An official spokesman said that the allottees of the JDA land in the area were demanding physical possession of the land during the past several years but there was no action from the concerned authorities.
These allottees were being denied the allotted land on one pretext or the other although there was no construction on the land and it was encroached upon by way of conducting agricultural activities.
Some days back, the Vice-Chairperson of JDA, Sushma Chouhan looked into the matter and finally found that grave injustice was being meted out to the allottees.
On her directions, Khilafwarzi Wing of the JDA carried out operation in the area and retrieved around 50 kanals of land valuing Rs 25 crore by evicting the encroachers.
The operation was carried out by a team headed by Director Land Management (JDA) Dr R K Bharti and assisted by Chief Khilafwarzi Officer Narinder Singh and comprising Executive Engineer Balbir Singh, Tehsildar JDA Vijay Kumar Sharma, Naib Tehsildar Varinder Singh and Khilafwarzi team Sunil Kumar Nanda, Girdhari Lal, Balbir Singh, Rajinder Singh Choudhary, Parshotam Kumar, Ramesh Kumar and Fareid Hussain.
Vice Chairperson has advised all the allottees, who have not taken possession of plots in the colony to immediately approach JDA.
