Jammu, Oct 12:A landslide struck a market area Narsoo Nullah on the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway in Udhampur district in the jurisdiction of PDA, resulting in the collapse of three shops. Fortunatly, there were no injuries or loss of life in the incident.
Officers of Tourism J&K are sleeping over the issue of revised Master Plan of Patnitop Development Authority in violation & non compliance of J&K Development Act of 1970 as previous Mater Plan of PDA was notified in the year, 2000 but despite lapse of 25 years, same Building Bye Laws are being implemented in PDA, intentional use of illegal Act?
It is to mention here that once upon a time various areas were added in the jurisdiction of PDA vide SRO.of 8th April, 2011 dtd. 08.04.2011 by which Narssoo was also included at s.no.12, but so it is a matter of high level enquiry, whether, Building Permission of these are sanctioned by PDA? Whether NOCs have been issued by National Highway Authority.
It is also needed to be acted upon, if BP cases are not cleared, how these construction in added areas after were taken up & how allowed to construct by the CEOs of the time.
Above all LG Office even sought a report from Tourism Dept , Tourism vide letter dated: 03.01.2025 followed by reminder dated.20.06.2025 for delay in issuance of Revised Master Plan of PDA over a complaint filed but till day no information.
However, it is also to submit that PDA has already spend more than 10 Lakhs over the revised faulty Master Plan & no outcome yet, needed to be acted upon concerned officers of the time for wasting Govt money but no outcome over the issue?
.
However, details of areas added in PDA after 8th April 2011 reads as under:-
