Sir,
I write to bring attention to the palpable concerns among Jammuites regarding the recent substantial increases in fees and taxes by the Jammu Municipal Corporation (JMC).
The retrospective 25% hike in rent, doubling of fees for various establishments, and the introduction of new charges have left the public burdened.
Citizens express dismay at the sudden escalation, impacting their daily lives and businesses. The decision-making process must involve public representation to ensure fairness and transparency. It is imperative that the JMC considers the financial strain on residents.
I urge the authorities to reevaluate these decisions in light of public sentiment and foster a collaborative approach for sustainable civic development.
