Being a no construction zone, the Evacuee Property Department hasfound a novel way to generate revenue by renting it out periodically forexhibitions. This not only creates noise pollution but hinders smooth trafficflow which leads to jams, besides all the filth and polythene ultimately reachto Dal Lake,” a statement issued by CCIK reads.
