RTI Movement appeals LG, Chief Secretary to intervene

Srinagar March 16 :(KNS) Jammu & Kashmir RTI Movement has appealed Lt Governor Manoj Sinha and Chief Secretary B V R Subramanium to ensure all the illegal encroachments are removed from Dal Lake area especially on Srinagar Hazratbal road near Ashai Bagh bridge , Saidakadal, Nowpora, Rainawari , Jogi Lanker and Khoja yarbal areas.

In a statement Chairman RTI Movement said that its volunteers visited several areas of Dal Lake on Monday and found lots of fresh encroachments taking place especially near Ashai Bagh bridge where land which is part of Dal Lake banks has been fenced by some vested interested people and they are planning to construct a guest house near the encroached site. 

"Officials of Lakes and Waterways Authority seem to have come to the spot to demolish the illegal fencing , but they seem to have done this for mere an eyewash as all the fencing material, mesh wire  has not been removed at all. Govt especially Lakes and Waterways Development Authority do not act against these illegal constructions  with the result Dal Lake is shrinking day by day. We appeal LG Manoj Sinha and Chief Secretary to seek an explanation from concerned officers ” said Dr Raja Muzaffar.(KNS)
