UDHAMPUR, Feb 27: Expressing concern over the recent hike in rents of shops of Municipal Council Udhampur by District Development Commissioner, Goal Market Dabbar Chowk Shopkeepers Association today demanded the Government to sort out the issue permanently by giving them ownership rights of the said structure including land.
Addressing a press conference, the Association members said that the DDC in its Order No DDCU/83/12-13/9280-9451 dated October 31, 2012, revised the rent of shops allotted to the people with immediate effect, without any consultations with the tenants, which forced them to approach the concerned tribunal at Jammu for justice bearing heavy expenditure for legal remedies.
