Jammu, Aug 2: The Peoples' Democratic Party (PDP) leaders today called on Custodian officials and apprised them about plight of Custodian allottees of Jammu city, which were facing immense problems.
A delegation of PDP leaders led by Bharat Choudary, party candidate from Jammu East constituency along with Vikram Singh, Ashok Jogi, Ram Sarup, Chaman Angral, Sachin Sharma, Amjad Malik, Asif DM, Surinder Kumar called on Custodian officials and expressed concern over the grievances of people.
Bharat apprised the officer that allottees of the Custodian properties faced hardships on account of leather attitude of said department. They said that despite of several applications and requests the department will not allow the allotees to carry repair work on property results every year many house collapsed during rainy season.
He further added that with every passing day, problems of allottees have been compounding because authorities at the helm of the affairs have been making the process cumbersome rather than simplifying it for the people who have been living in custodian properties since 1947.
They said that plight of these allotees can be gauged from the fact that living in these properties for the last 67 years, occupants of these parties have to deposit huge amount as fee and also for construction of additional part in the property.
Speaking on the occasion, Vikram Singh said that those who have been living in these properties since 1947 have all right to get ownership right.
He said that if an allottee undertakes any work to extend his allotted house/shop has to deposit fee with the Custodian Department and then only he/she gets permission for additional construction of the house. In this way, the allottee has to spend an extra amount for any additional construction in the house, which great injustice. |
