He also discussed wrong works going on in Transport Nagar under Jammu Metropolitan Regional Development Authority (JMRDA) project executed by JDA worth Rs 33.57 crores.
Sahai, Chair PHDCCI Jammu apprised him about the activities of PHDCCI in J&K and nationwide. He also sensitized about the yearly PHDCCI activity of Ambassadors meet at national level. He said that PHDCCI has been supporting various pragmatic initiatives of the UT of J&K and Central Government towards the economic, industrial, and overall development of J&K.
He pointed out about wrong land classification done in Master Plan by the agency in which some areas/lands are wrongly classified into various colours eg green, red, blue etc. Sahai further said similar green colour is classified as Nursery / orchards / open space / recreation / vegetation / water body buffer and same way red is classified as public and semi public / public utility / slaughter house etc which is very confusing and is not done real time. Sahai said many people have certificates from Revenue department that their land is commercial (Banjar Kadeem) but this agency has classified that land as Nursery/residential etc. He said if land sale purchase will not happen it is a direct loss of taxes and development. He suggested to open the window to rectify the same at the earliest.
