Official sources said that the District Administration Jammu has passed directions regarding closure of all restaurants functional on State land along the bypass road that runs from Narwal-Sidhra connecting with Jammu-Srinagar National Highway.
They said that the owners have been directed to produce documents and record of land, adding, “those found illegally raised without permission and required formalities, have to face the music”.
Meanwhile, police sources said that these points were reportedly becoming favourite destinations for youngsters and they remain open till late evenings.

“It is clarified that other commercial establishments on same road, which are not currently believed to be on State land are operating normally.
