The issue of very low stamp duty rates in Jammu district was also discussed threadbare plus grant of compensation to those people who were cultivating Custodian land in RS Pura, Marh and Bhalwal tehsils. We have sought appointment with Governor and there is no response from Raj Bhavan "said Sarat Dubey affected farmer from Prithipur Jammu. |
