Gaurav Gupta, Spokesperson of BJP J&K, met with Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha today and submitted a memorandum highlighting critical issues affecting the people of Jammu.

 

While appreciating the unprecedented development under the leadership of LG Sinha, Gaurav Gupta urged immediate intervention on unresolved land disputes, housing approvals, and economic support for local traders.  

 

Gupta lauded the administration’s efforts in improving infrastructure, healthcare, and education, emphasizing that key projects have significantly enhanced regional connectivity and economic growth. However, he stressed that certain persistent issues require urgent attention.  

 

Firstly, he raised concerns over the delay in resolving ‘Gair Mumkin Khad’ land disputes. Despite progress in Kathua and Samba, thousands of families across Jammu remain entangled in legal and administrative challenges. He urged the LG to expedite the resolution process, ensuring justice and economic security for affected residents.  

 

The BJP Spokesperson further highlighted the hardships faced by property owners in Gandhi Nagar Colony due to the Housing Board’s refusal to issue No Objection Certificates (NOCs) for plot approvals and transfers. He pointed out that this long-standing issue has hindered legal transactions and development in one of Jammu’s oldest residential colonies. Seeking immediate redressal, he requested the LG’s intervention to facilitate systematic urban growth.  

 

Furthermore, he also raised the issue of traders at Narwal Fruit Mandi who have been grappling with severe hardships due to the long-pending renewal of lease agreements, now overdue by more than two years. The expiration of lease periods has resulted in banks refusing credit and insurance companies denying coverage, compounding financial distress. Established in 1982 to accommodate traders relocated from Sabzi Mandi and Fruit Mandi, Narwal Mandi has been a crucial hub of trade. The delay in lease renewal has further prevented traders from availing benefits of government schemes under the J&K Agriculture Production Department. He  strongly urged your to expedite the approval process to restore normalcy and stability for affected traders.  

The Lieutenant Governor gave a patient hearing to Gupta’s concerns and assured that all issues raised would be thoroughly examined for necessary action.
