Pahalgam: Continuing its drive against illegal constructions, the Pahalgam Development Authority Wednesday razed more structures in various palaces of the tourist resort.
Chief Executive Officer Pahalgam Development Authority (PDA), Muhammad Yousuf Bhat said that all these structures had come up in brazen violation of Court orders. We after seeking help from police and administration demolished 4 structures, two plinths and two sheds at Mamal Pahalgam in the Wild Life Protection area, he said adding that the area is maintained and protected by the Wild Life Department.
He said that these illegal structures had come up as addition, extensions to the existing structures. The people responsible for such illegal constructions had dumped construction material adjacent to the construction sites and we seized all such material, Bhat said and made a fervent appeal to the Irrigation and Flood Control, Forest Department and local Revenue officials to join hands in the demolition drive so that ill designs of violators and offenders could be foiled beforehand.
Pertinently, PDA last week demolished the illegal structures at Khelan, Movera, Lidroo, Branward, Rangward, Pahalgam market and Sadhupadaw areas of the tourist resort.
