Karan Singh, while speaking in the meeting said that even our heritage buildings have turned into ruins as there is no one to take care of these buildings but the custodian properties are in good condition due to these tenants.
Kuldeep Kandhari said that the tenants of Custodian Department have to approach the concerned offices for seeking permission to undertake repair and maintenance and they get very poor response.
Brijesh Gupta said that those of the tenants who construct two rooms, kitchen and bathroom from their own pocket the Department charges them a premium of which is a wrong practice.
Chairman of the Association, Krishan Lal Gupta demanded that ownership rights be given to evacuee property tenants or as an alternative they be given a lease of 90 years as these people have suffered all along due to an uncertain future.
Arjun Gupta president of the Association gave full support to Jammu East Constituency Citizen Forum for this cause and demanded that the ownership rights to the Custodian Tenants should be given immediately.
