In a significant move to curb illegal constructions, the Jammu Development Authority (JDA) sealed seven commercial structures and demolished numerous illegally built plinths in Jammu Khas. This anti-encroachment drive occurred on Saturday, led by the enforcement wing of the JDA in collaboration with the district administration.

The operation specifically targeted unauthorized structures built on JDA land without sanctioned plans or legal approvals. The commercial establishments sealed were found in violation of the master plan and existing land use regulations, thus prompting the decisive action from the authorities.

By sealing these structures, the JDA aims to prevent further misuse of public land, sending a stern warning to potential encroachers. Officials have reiterated the importance of adhering to legal planning protocols and urged the public to secure necessary permissions before commencing any construction within the Authority's jurisdiction.
