Div Com orders demolition of illegal structure, action against official
Srinagar: Divisional Commissioner Kashmir Baseer Ahmad Khan Friday ordered the demolition of an illegal structure in Anantnag besides action against a top official.
As reported earlier, a two-room structure had been constructed by some people within the Sumo Stand outside the Anantnag Sports Stadium at MehandiKadal.
Municipal Committee Chairman Anantnag, Hilal Ahmad Shah said that no person has been granted permission for the construction and it would be demolished “very soon.”
“We have already written to police to provide security so as to demolish the structure,” he said, adding “we have identified 12 persons who have carried out the violation and action as per law will be taken against them.”
When contacted Div Com Kashmir said that he had taken note of the report and would ensure that the demolition of the structure is carried out soon.
He said he will order action against Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Municipal Body Anantnag for having “slept over the issue and allowed the illegal construction.”
In a letter to the CEO, Manager Sports Stadium Anantnag had sought immediate action against “some so-called bearers of Sumo Stand Union by constructing an office for their personal activities on the land which legally belongs to the J&K Sports Council.”
“Revenue papers thereof are annexed. In this regard, your kind self is requested for immediate and appropriate action may please be expedited at an earliest without any delay,” the letter reads. (GNS)
