JAMMU, Aug 8: Pradesh Youth Congress today flayed the JDA for selling 8 kanals of land, which was reclaimed from river Tawi and earmarked for developing park dedicated to Maharaja Hari Singh.
Addressing press conference, Pranav Shagotra, Vice President PYC said that by selling a portion of the land for constructing business establishments would be detrimental to the cause of developing Jammu city as an independent tourist destination. “This is a malicious act on the part of JDA to sell off portion of Maharajah Hari Singh’s park to hotelier”, he added.
Terming any sale deed in this regard as illegal, he said that no reclaimed land can be used for commercial purpose and demanded that the sale deed be revoked forthwith.
He also demanded that the State Government should intervene in the matter and stop the sale of land at any cost keeping in view the sentiments of Jammu people.
PYC leaders Kamaljit Singh, General Secretary Lok Sabha, Ricky Dalotra, Arun Khatri, Prikshit Shagotra and Amit Gandotra were present in the press conference.
