JAMMU: The State Vigilance Commission today summoned the Vice Chairman of Jammu Development Authority (JDA), Mubarak Singh, over alleged illegal allotment of JDA land to some hotel owners, who raised buildings on them.
The Commission expressed concerns over “illegal allotment” of JDA land to private persons – and subsequent construction on them – during a former VC’s tenure and summoned Singh, a Commission spokesman said.
Earlier, one Kanti Lal petitioned the Commission against a former JDA VC and other officials alleging they had illegally alloted land to some hotel owners in Jammu and Bari Brahmna.
He also alleged the officers had taken “gratification” from the hotel owners for allowing them to raise illegal constructions on the plot.
The Commission took cognisance of the complaint and sought a report from JDA, which was submitted today. (AGENCIES)
