| Ban Toll Plaza: A Hub of Irregularities ? Hotel association demands action | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Dec 15: A delegation from Katra, led by the Hotel & Restaurant Association, Katra (HRAK), met with the Divisional Commissioner of Jammu, Ramesh Kumar, to raise concerns about alleged irregularities at the Ban Toll Plaza. The delegation highlighted the following issues:
Arbitrary Change in Local Pass Issuance: The contractor at Ban Toll Plaza has reportedly stopped issuing local passes to residents of certain areas within a 20-kilometer radius, despite previous orders and guidelines from Deputy Commissioners and Project Directors.
This decision has caused confusion and inconvenience for locals.
Questionable List of Areas: The Regional Officer of NHAI issued a separate list of areas falling within the 20-kilometer radius, contradicting the lists previously provided by Deputy Commissioners.
This raises concerns about transparency and adherence to established procedures.
Superseding Authority: The delegation questioned the Regional Officer’s authority to override the lists provided by Deputy Commissioners, who are the designated authorities for such matters. This raises concerns about potential misuse of power and undermines established protocols.
Additional Irregularities: The delegation also mentioned other day-to-day irregularities at the Ban Toll Plaza, further fueling concerns about mismanagement and lack of accountability.
The HRAK delegation urged the Divisional Commissioner to intervene and address the following:
Immediate resolution of the local pass issue: The delegation requested the reinstatement of local passes for all residents within the 20-kilometer radius, as per previous orders.
Investigation into the contradictory list of areas: A thorough investigation into the discrepancy between the lists issued by the Regional Officer and the Deputy Commissioners is necessary to ensure transparency and fairness.
Strict action against irregularities: The delegation demanded strict action against any illegal practices or misuse of power at the Ban Toll Plaza. The delegation warned that if these issues are not addressed promptly, they could lead to major law and order problems in the area.
Overall, the meeting highlights serious concerns about alleged irregularities and mismanagement at the Ban Toll Plaza.
The Divisional Commissioner’s response and the subsequent actions taken by the authorities will be crucial in addressing these concerns and ensuring fairness and transparency in the operations of the toll plaza. |
