UDHAMPUR, Sept 12: Locals of Jib, Ghari and Rehambal areas today protested against delay in settlement and release of compensation against the land acquired by Army authorities in village Jib.
The protesting villagers said that military authorities had acquired the said land permanently for the defense use in 1952. The said land measuring 1797 kanals 11 marlas originally belongs to around 100 families, which are very poor and are being paid a nominal rent by the defence authorities.
The villagers appealed the Prime Minister to personally intervene into the matter and settle the land case once for all by release compensation in favour of the villagers so that they could provide better education to their children.
