EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, Sept 6: United Democratic Alliance (UDA) has extended full support to the ongoing agitation launched by Caretaker and Devotees of Panjbakhtar Mahadev temple in Jammu against the construction of multilayer parking and commercial complex on the temple land.
In a statement issued here today, Rajiv Mahajan, Chief Spokesperson UDA, criticized the authorities of National Highways & Infrastructure Development Corporation Ltd (NHIDCL) who with the involvement of unscrupulous elements have made an attempt to grab the temple land by floating tenders of multi-level car project on the temple land.

He said that this was made a deliberate attempt to encroach the temple land, which has not been first time in Jammu and Kashmir. He said that there were several attempts were made in the past to grab the temple lands.

He further said that Temple is in possession of 25 kanals of land out of which some land is being utilized as a parking while some shops and other areas have been rented out to some shopkeepers under proper lease.
