UDHAMPUR, July 3: While undertaking a whirlwind tour of villages of Udhampur, BJP Spokesperson and former MLA Ranbir Singh Pathania raised pitch for immediate operationalization of Udhampur Development Authority.
“With the advent of J&K State Re-organisation Act 2019, notified Udhampur Development Authority vide SRO 318 dated :-03 -07 -2013 stands automatically dissolved and vide SRO 439 dated 14-12-2021 another notification for land use was notified in J&K. A sort of stalemate prevails here whereby cases of land use falling in the notified area under jurisdiction of approved Master Plan could not be processed. A full fledged communication in this regard has been addressed by the Deputy Commissioner Udhampur to Principal Secretary, Housing and Urban Development Department with least follow up/corrective measures till date, ” he explained while addressing public meetings at village Jaganoo, Talmara, Loundana, Phangyal, Satani, Battal villages.
