Early Times Report
JAMMU, June 18: A former Congress Minister and an eminent technocrat of Jammu, who are in close relation to each other are contemplating a 5-star hotel in Jammu, according to informed sources.
As per reports, the hotel is being conceived near Beli Charana, beyond Fourth Bridge on Tawi, where both, the former Congress Minister and his nephew technocrat own huge properties. The Congress leader during his stint as the Minister incharge PHE in the NC-Congress coalition government had conceived projects like Artificial lake project on Tawi and beautification of its banks allegedly for his own benefits as he owned huge farm house and extensive land holdings in the area.
Sources disclose that the technocrat nephew of the former Minister, who has manned lucrative postings during his entire government service and enjoys exclusive reach in the corridors of power due to the political influence of his uncle and also several other members of his larger clan who man significant positions in the state administration, is looking after the technical aspects of the project. Informed sources in the department of R&B divulge that the new diversion from the fourth bridge that raised many an eyebrows is part of the larger mega plan.
"There was massive hue and cry over emergence of a diversion from the middle of the Fourth bridge that was threatening the safety of the commuters, but the dangerous diversion was legitimized at the behest of former minister and his technocrat nephew", said a former Executive Engineer of the R&B.
While huge fortunes made by the former Minister during his long political career are no secret, sources divulge that his technocrat nephew has also plundered huge wealth and made assets within and outside the state. "He owns a palatial bungalow on19 kanals in a posh locality of the city, 500 kanals of land in Beli Charana, BEd colleges in Kupwara and Srinagar and much more" said a source in R&B. "A secret inquiry was initiated in the alleged disproportionate assets of the influential technocrat, but he got it filed as 'not proved' with the intervention of a former director of the SVO" he added.
It is reliably learnt that a senior most officer of the state administration has been providing all support and patronage to this noted technocrat in his acts of omission and commission. |
