According to Soom Nath Bhat son of Anand Ram Bhat of Bonagund presently migrant at Jammu his seven kanals and 12 marlas of prime land has been occupied by the Government over a decade back for construction of the Sports Stadium.
Since then the family approached to every quarter in the Government for release of the compensation for land but to no avail. Even the authorities at the helm of affairs did not bother to listen his woes.
The family since then is running from pillar to post for the release of compensation in its favour but no one in the Government takes it seriously said Soom Nath Bhat. He said despite the enactment of the Distress Sale Act in 1997 by the State Government, it failed to do justice to the family under the said Act also.
The family right from the tehsildar to Revenue Minister has knocked the doors of every one in the Government over these years but to no avail. The letters written by the higher authorities to the concerned Tehsildar regarding visiting the spot for verification and release of compensation have been put in the dustbin, said Bhat who sought the immediate intervention of Chief Minister, Mehbooba Mufti and Revenue and Rehabilitation Minister, A R Veeri in this regard.
