But above all it is to mention here that Jammu Master Plan 2032 was notified in March 2017 but JDA as per norms did not bother to frame Zonal Plans which was the main condition in development Actt of 1970, which cause harassment to innocents in the hands of CTPs for clearance of BP cases.
It is also mentioned to revise Master Plan after every 05 years but today more than 07 years has passed but there is no whisper on revised Master Plan by Jammu Dev Authority raised a pointer & question of harassment to innocents by using same bye laws in village & city in absence of Zonal Plans & not deciding the issue of "Proposed Roads" without any notification & compensation but sleeping on illegal constructions on so called proposed roads?
It is to mention here that Commissioner/Secretary, H&UDD, Mandeep Kour, time & again directed VC JDA for uploading revised Master Plan for public objections but till date no results has been seen & JDA has still kept BP cases in so called proposed roads in dust bin for clearance by showing super powers of JDA & one BO Case in proposed road by VC JDA in his report addressed to Govt vide no. JDA/CTP/000176/388 DTD. 1.10.2022 is the live example?
