The Jammu Development Authority (JDA), under the leadership of Vice Chairman Rupesh Kumar and in coordination with the District Administration, on Thursday launched a large-scale anti-encroachment operation across key locations in Jammu district. The drive focused on removing unauthorized constructions and reclaiming illegally occupied JDA land, particularly in the Sidhra, Majeen, and Rangoora areas of Tehsil Jammu Khas.
During the operation, more than 20 illegal permanent and semi-permanent structures were demolished, including newly constructed buildings and boundary walls erected without permission. Authorities noted that the targeted areas had recently seen a rise in encroachments, necessitating swift action.
As a result, approximately 110 kanal of land was successfully retrieved and brought back under official possession. To prevent fresh encroachments, fencing and warning signboards are being installed on the reclaimed land.
The demolition activities were executed smoothly with the full support of the District Administration, ensuring coordinated action across multiple sites.
Reiterating its zero-tolerance policy towards illegal encroachments, the JDA warned that strict legal action would be taken against violators. Citizens were strongly advised to refrain from unauthorized construction or occupation of government land.
The Authority also urged the public to verify land ownership and obtain proper approvals before initiating any construction activity, reaffirming its commitment to safeguard public land across Jammu.
