Earlier, 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 a congress conspiracy against her. The demolition team which had come with a bulldozer razed down a portion of Shanti Devi's House.
