Illegal Structure on 8.14 Kanal state Land demolished at Marh
JAMMU: An illegal structure constructed on state land measuring eight Kanals and 14 Marla bearing Khasra No. 504 was demolished in Marh area of Jammu division on Saturday.
The demolition drive was conducted on the instructions of Deputy Commissioner (DC) Jammu Avny Lavasa and under the supervision of ADC (L&O) Sherpa Minga.
The demolition drive was conducted on encroached government land at Chak Kalasay by SDM Marh Rajeev Khajuria.
A big concrete structure raised illegally on 8.14 Kanal State land was demolished with the assistance of a Police party led by SDPO Domana Sunil Singh, SHO Kana Chak and SHO Domana.
Tehsildar Marh Rampal Sharma and Naib Tehsildar Marh Rajesh Bali were also present on the spot.
The Drive was conducted in continuation to the policy of the LG administration of zero tolerance towards encroachments on State lands in J&K UT. The move has sent a stern message to encroachers to abstain from such illegal and criminal acts in future.
The illegal concrete structure was raised on last Sunday during night hours on a plinth which was laid illegally and mischievously by the encroachers several months ago.
“After repeated communications by SDM Marh through Revenue Officials and prominent citizens for the last one week, the encroachers constructed this illegal structure on their own, which led to today’s demolition operation,” the revenue officials said.
“Such demolition drives to retrieve the state land in Marh shall continue in future also,” he added.
They said that the Deputy Commissioner, Jammu has already issued clear cut instructions to all SDMs and revenue officers to deal strictly with the encroachers and put in all efforts to retrieve the illegally encroached State land in all sub divisions and tehsils of Jammu.
