JAMMU: Amid growing complaints about the mushrooming of unauthorized colonies in rural areas due to illegal constructions, the Jammu Development Authority (JDA) has issued a stern warning, advising the public to ensure that colonizers and developers obtain a Change of Land Use (CLU) certificate and approval for the layout plan of the colony from the competent authority before purchasing plots.
The government has taken serious note of the massive illegal constructions and the proliferation of unauthorized colonies by various colonizers, attributed to the failure of enforcement wings to curb such activities. These developments pose a threat to the planned growth of the city and semi-urban areas.
“Various complaints are being received regarding the mushrooming of unauthorized colonies in rural areas within the jurisdiction of the Jammu Development Authority,” JDA Vice-Chairman Pankaj Kumar Sharma said in a public notice issued here.
