The Jammu Development Authority (JDA), under the leadership of Vice Chairman Rupesh Kumar and in active coordination with the district administration, launched a large-scale anti-enocaching operation at major places in Jammu district. Drive focused on removing unauthorized constructions and recovering illegally occupied JDA land, especially in Sidhara, Magin and Rangora regions of Tehsil Jammu Khas.
During the operation, more than 20 illegal permanent and semi-stable structures were demolished. These included newly constructed buildings and boundary walls without permission on JDA land. The targeted areas had seen an increase in encroachments, indicating a fast and decisive action from the authorities.
As a result of the operation, approximately 110 Kanal land was successfully recovered and brought back to official possession. To prevent further encroachments, the re -landed land is being secured through fencing and the installation of warning signboards.
The demolition activities were done in a coordinated manner with full support from the district administration, ensuring smooth and effective execution of operations on many sites.
Reiterating its zero-tolerance policy towards encroachment, the JDA warned that strict legal action will be taken against all violations. The public is strongly advised to avoid being engaged in any form of unauthorized construction or occupation of government land.
The Jammu Development Authority is committed to the protection of public land and urged all citizens to verify the land ownership and get the necessary approval before starting any construction activities.
