03/06/2023
SAMBA, Jun 2: Apni Party Provincial President, Jammu, and Former Minister, S. Manjit Singh today has condemned the action of municipal authorities in Kathua in which they have demolished a three floor commercial building for its alleged illegal construction.
In a statement to the press, the former minister said that the way civil administration and municipality has acted and punished the building owner and showroom owner was unprecedented and against the constitutional rights of the people.
"The incident has shocked all of us to the core as the people were left helpless with crores of liability on them and the complete destruction of the commercial structure which could have generated employment for local youth," he said.
He appealed to the LG Manoj Singh for his intervention so that the Govt officials responsible for acting senselessly and causing huge damage to the private property in the name of illegal construction (without permission) should be punished.
He said that the administration and municipality could have imposed a penalty or sealed the building till the owners clear their issues with the authorities and get the permission.
