JAMMU, June 1: DDC Chairman Jammu Bharat Bhushan Bodhi along with Vice Chairman Jammu, Suraj Singh Bhau asked Deputy Commissioner Jammu Anshul Garg to resolve the mining issue as soon as possible to give a sigh of relief to people facing hardships due to non-availability of construction material.
At the outset of the meeting, the DDC Chairman asked the DC Jammu for taking up the matter of mining on priority as the people have become fed-up with the blanket ban on construction material and those who are somehow getting the same are paying four to five times more than the actual rates. He said that the places in the outskirts of Jammu and in Chenab basin near Akhnoor where some relaxation is given for mining, the royalty rates are not fixed thus leaving scope for the operators to sell the construction material including sand, bajri at exorbitant rates.
