| Residents demand full access to their properties | | Nagrota Ammunition Depot | |  EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, June 15: Residents of villages Kanyala, Kah Pota and adjoining areas in tehsil Dansal of district Jammu have urged the civil administration to either grant permission to them to enjoy full access to their properties or else make some alternative arrangement for them.
Residents said, “We are being dispossessed of our property rights due to Army setting up an ammunition depot at Nagrota.”
“The authorities had banned constructions in our area long ago. Now, the Army is not even allowing us to renovate our kachha houses,” they added.
Sources said that army authorities had banned all sorts of construction, renovation or modification works on the private ownership property and land encircling one kilometer area of the Ammunition Depot. “Instead of lifting the ban on private construction, the rules are being made more stringent,” residents said.
They said that the ban on construction or renovation/ repair works is affecting over half a dozen habitations falling in the area mostly inhabited by marginal and small farmers.
“The poor villagers are neither being paid any adequate compensation for their lands nor are they being rehabilitated now,” the locals said.
Residents of the affected villages including Kanyala, Kahpota, Jindrah, Nagola, Ponthel and others have appealed to the Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha and Deputy Commissioner, Jammu to intervene into the matter and provide much needed relief to the locals.
It is in place to mention here that the Ammunition Depot was commissioned around 50 years ago in Kanyala village and the land of farmers with small holdings was taken on rent by the Army. |
