JAMMU, Apr 18: Apni party provincial president, women wing, Jammu, Namrta Sharma today strongly criticized and condemned the harassment of the citizens of Sainik Colony by the Jammu Municipal Corporation (JMC) authorities.
While addressing a public meeting at Sector B of Sainik Colony, Namrta said the role of JMC has been highly condemnable as the Corporation authorities are harassing the citizens of the Colony on the pretext of encroachments. She further said that Sainik Colony was established in 1969 by the Sainik Cooperative House Building Society Limited and has established laws and bylaws for the development of the Colony.
She said the Sainik Cooperative Society authorized every resident of the Colony to plant trees in the parameter of 5 feet in front of their houses so that the slogan of ‘green and clean’ Sainik Colony should prevail but the JMC is unlawfully dismantling the authorized fencing for the trees and plants which is not acceptable by the people of Sainik colony.
Namrta warned the JMC authorities to refrain from harassing the citizens of the area otherwise the whole people will come on the streets against the unlawful act of JMC. She said that JMC cannot overrule the laws and bylaws of Sainik Corporative House Building Society Limited. She warned the authorities to stop such harassment of well-decorated ex servicemen and civilians of the Colony.
Devinder Sharma, organizer of the meeting said that the residents should unite and protest against the dictatorial attitude of JMC. Sanjeev Sharma and Kulbir Singh Samyal, residents of the colony, questioned that why Greenery is being targeted in Sainik Colony while plantation drives are being promoted all over India.
