JAMMU, July 12: A team of JMC officials led by Dr Zafar Iqbal (MVO) comprising 30-35 men including a squad of police personnel barged into premises of Barkers Den at Bahu Plaza without issuing any prior notice.
‘Though we appreciate the visit of JMC officials to educate us about the lapses of JMC guidelines, we strongly condemn the unethical manner in which it was conducted”, said Sitara Samnotra, owner at Barkers Den. She further added that there was never any intent of her to violate any JMC guidelines and it was only an unintentional omission, this being the first venture of its kind in the city.
“I am an educated and a law abiding citizen and there is no real need of forceful entry of 30-35 men including the police in absence of lady police officers to explain me the lapses in JMC formalities, especially when I was all alone at the grooming centre”, she said, adding the official and his team misbehaved and used unpleasant language.
JMC officials virtually trespassed, harassed and ransacked the premises like goons, lifting the products and equipment worth more than Rs 1,00,000 without even issuing a proper receipt or seizure memo, she said. She strongly refuted the official JMC handout about a pet being rescued, instead the pet was virtually ‘abducted’ inspite of her repeated request not to take away the pet untill the pet owner arrives.
