| J-K to consider alloting plots to legislators | | |
Srinagar, Aug 31
Jammu and Kashmir government will consider to allot plots to legislators who do not have homes in Jammu or Srinagar.
This assurance was given by the state minister for health Pandit Mangat Ram Sharma in the Legislative Assembly (LA) after members, cutting across party lines, demanded that members from Jammu should be alloted plots in Srinagar and those from the valley be given plots in Jammu for construction of their houses.
The members, raising the issue during Zero-hour, said that single rooms allotted to the members in MLA hostel here or in Jammu were not enough for them.
Mr Sharma said he had disscssed this issue with the Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad who said that no member had raised such a question in the house.
''Now members have raised this question which was supported by almost entire house, I will again take the matter with Mr Azad,'' he said and assured the House that govenment would consider the demand.
He said, ''legislators in the past too were alloted plots and I also got a plot during the Bakshi Ghulam Mohammad rule in the Sixties for Rs 1000 per kanal. Now the cost of that plot is Rs one crore.'' A committee will be constituted which will identify the land in both Jammu and Srinagar for allotment to legislators,'' he added.
When he said that those from Jammu would be alloted plot in Srinagar and from the valley in Jammu, some members wanted to know about those who dod not have their houses either in Jammu or Srinagar. The minister said they would be alloted plots at both the places.
