JAMMU, Sept 15: In compliance to the instructions issued by Divisional Commissioner Jammu, the Jammu Municipal Commis-sion today launched campaign to aware general public about sanitation, encroachments, illegal constructions, lane/drains/ nallahs etc.

The Joint Commissioner (A) stressed upon the issue which has come up from the society before JMC regarding insanitation, encroachments, illegal constructions etc. He also stressed that it’s a prime responsibility of every citizen to make their surroundings neat and clean.
The JMC appealed to all the shopkeepers not to place their articles on the footpaths, as it may cause inconvenience to pedestrians especially school going children and old age people of the society. The owner raising constructions were advised that before starting any construction within the limits they must take prior permission from the Corporation, as the procedure for getting building permission has been made easiest.
The Joint Commissioner also informed that JMC is going to conduct massive anti encroachment drive in all the wards of JMC. In this drive every nook and corner of the areas falling under the limits will be visited/inspected by Health, Enforcement, Revenue & Transport wing of JMC, he added.
The main moto of this campaign is to convey appeal of JMC before undertaking anti encroachment drive to inform all the shopkeepers as well as general public to remove their articles/material installed on footpaths/roads by encroaching upon the footpaths and pavements, stop undertaking illegal constructions without taking prior permission.
The general public was also appealed not to keep their plots vacant and throw polythene carry bags in the nallahs/drains.
