Jammu, Jan 15: Lt Governor, Manoj Sinha from the date has taken over the charge of JKUT trying his level best to improve work culture but there are lot of bosses still not bothering for him.

JDA office is one of those, where Govt instruction are thrown in the dust bin by some of the bosses including VC JDA, as one complaint was made to Pr Secretary, H&UDD & VC through Email on 6th January, 2021 regarding illegalities committed by one Jagdish Hans, CTP/STP Jammu Development Authority for violation of Govt instructions issued from time to time regarding sanction of building permissions & other maters related to the same was forwarded by Pr Secretary to VC JDA for report on the same day but not bothering by VC JDA till 14th Jan, again a reminder over the same issue was mailed to Pr Secretary, H&UDD & VCJDA, which clerly speaks that how VC JDA bothers for Pr Secretary, H&UDD & preferred that let the public be harassed by causing loss to Govt exchequer..

Pertinent to mention here that once upon a time Govt itself issued guidelines for according sanction to building permissions by submitting building plans online with required documents in Step-1 followed by Step-2 by which after scrutinizing the file the case file to be sent on line for NOCs to the concerned departments.

Step-3 reads with inspection of site by the concerned within 7 days and uploading within next 48 hours, which clear the level-1, which is being further followed by Step- 4,5,6,7,8 etc etc. for sanction of building  permission of the concerned.

But, the guidelines issued by the Government are not bothered by the boss, Jagdish Hans, a self styled STP of  Jammu Development Authority, raised a question mark on the head of JDA.

It is the need of the day to crackdown on the office of VC JDA/CTP to check that how many building permissions are waiting for their fate for permissions/NOCs etc etc after a lapse of time prescribed by the Govt over the issue & why VC JDA is not setting the system to receive online applications for building permissions otherwise sanctions would have brought lakhs of rupees per month as permission fee but no actions  speaks of work culture in JDA.

One another serious issue of failure of administration of JDA is that a complaint over the issue was already made to Pr Secretary, H&UDD/VC JDA through e mail regarding not framing of Zonal Plans, otherwise as per laws it was the condition to frame the Zonal Plan subsequently & that subsequenty had not ended till today despite Master Plan-2032 was issued on 17th March, 2017 & 03 years 9 months have lapsed but the JDA is sleeping till date clearly proves of incompetance, lack of knowledge on the part of VCJDA/CTP/STP.

The super powers of the STP can be observed that one applicant submitted an application for building permission with due receipt on 22.12.2020 but till as on today the said file is still waiting for its fate under the seat of the STP despite lapse of 24 days in violation of Govt's instruction of disposal in 7 days, which clearly speaks of deriliction of duties & non compliance of Govt orders issued into the matter but VC JDA not acting despite knowing the facts is a matter of great concern on her part.

There is need to crack down in JDA office to see the truth of violations made by the office regarding delay in according building permissions w.r.t. time frame prescribed by the Govt over according building permissions/ transfer of plot/lease etc etc & to see what the boss had done till today for framing Zonal Plans, which was the pre condition for framing Zonal Plans simultaneously after issuance of Master Plan, which stands issued in March, 2017 & when simultaneous will end & is a big question mark on him as well as on the Head of JDA

It is also to mention here that in a reply to a grievance in Govt Grievance Cell the boss CTP had himself vide no. CTP/JDA/398-99 dtd. 04.01.2021 written as "Of course, simultanously Zonal Plans required for more detailing" but when his simultaneou will end god knows & to see whether building permissions by adopting one rule in every jurisdiction is legal  in absence of Zonal Plans?

It speaks that, if the boss VC JDA/CTP did not bother to act after asking for a report by the Pr Secretary, H&UDD on complaint on Email on 6th Jan 2021, how the jobs off innocents should have bothered on ground by the VC JDA is a big question?

It is also a matter of great concern that Govt had prescribed some rules that officers shall not leave the HQ beyond some kilometers of distance from HQ but the boss CTP is charging HRA as per Jammu city rates but not residing at Jammu & daily leaves the HQ beyond prescribed kilometes needed to be looked into. His residence proof at Jammu shall speak the facts.

However, the snapshots as above speaks the truth of  incompetence, dereliction of duties, lack of knowledge & above all a proved case of harassment in violation of Govt instructions by the JDA bosses & needed to be acted upon to save the innocents from te cruel clutches of such like bosses in near future.
