Mayor Srinagar Junaid Azim Matoo today clarified that resolution seeking removal of JCP Planning SMC has been made by elected corporation in a joint representation to him.
Responding to a news item “Mayor seeks removal of JCP Planning’ by news agency KDC, the Mayor tweeted: “An incorrect and perhaps intentionally mischievous news. The elected Corporation – in a joint representation to the Mayor signed by 61 elected members – has sought the removal of the said officer under section 46 (2) of the JK MC Act. A very significant difference!
In a statement, Ghulam Hassan Mir, JCP Planning said: “I shut the doors for building permission/illegal construction brokers in the city. I have become a stumbling block for those who have created vested interests to do illegal constructions and are hell-bent upon to spoil the city through the means of obtaining wrong/illegal/improper permissions.”
