Tension gripped Last Morh area of posh Gandhi Nagar locality after residents of the area clashed with a Jammu Municipal Corporation team who had come to execute the High Court orders directing demolition of over seventy houses constructed over irrigation department's piece of land.
Peoples Democratic Party MLA Shanti Devi who also owns a house in the locality described the action as conspiracy by Congress against her.
The demolition team which has come with a bulldozer razed down a portion of Shanti Devi's house.
However, before it could proceed further, the people of the area laid down in front of the bulldozer to stop it from going ahead with demolition.
When the police tried to intervene the residents turned violent and threw stones on the demolition creating a Law and Order situation.
The Local MLA Raman Bhalla who was also present on the occasion refuted the charges of PDP MLA and said that it was HC order and there was no question of targeting any particular person.
