Early Times Report Udhampur, Oct 20 :The wait to own housing board (HB) plots in different Udhampur areas seems to have become endless for the people, who purchased forms nearly a decade back, but are yet to get any intimation in this regard. The plots were to be provided at Rathian, Chakhar and other areas of Udhampur. Sanjeev Bavouria, sarpanch Jai Kumar and Ram Lal told Early Times that though they had purchased forms for Rs 500 each nearly a decade back, they were yet to get any intimation to this effect. They claimed that the department had earned Rs 51,82,500 from the sale of about 10,365 forms. Though they had visited the HB office several times, they had not got any satisfactory reply, they said. They said they had also held an anti-board protest a few days back at Salathia Chowk, Udhampur, but it failed to create any impact on the authorities concerned. |
