| Tractor-Trolley Union visits Roop Nagar, condemns JDA’s selective demolition drive | | |  EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, Jan 18: A delegation of Tractor-Trolley Union of J&K led by its President Mohd Arif visited Roop Nagar where JDA carried out selective eviction drive few days back. After meeting members of the affected families, Mohd Arif targeted LG administration and JDA for their selective approach to carry eviction drive against a particular community.
He demanded immediate compensation & rehabilitation of families. Strongly criticizing the inhuman action of the Jammu Development Authority (JDA) to displace nomadic families in the Roop Nagar area, Arif regretted that after making the youth of J&K jobless, the BJP controlled present regime is shamelessly rendering helpless tribal families homeless.
Tribal families have been living in the area since 1947 but their houses were demolished without any reason”, he pointed out and regretted that such action of the authorities indicated that the government was working with a biased mindset to create a fear among some sections of the society.
He said that the gimmick of empowering tribals with political reservation has been exposed and the Govt must come out with the factual report so that the people are not made to suffer in future.
He said that the officials in JDA must be held accountable for their action which has made the people homeless. “This Authority was established to provide homes to the people in Jammu but they are displacing the one community with a communal approach,” he added.
He further said that the Lt Governor Manoj Sinha should personally intervene and take action against the erring officials of JDA |
