Jammu : Continuing its drive against land mafia as well as against building violations, Jammu Development Authority (JDA), in close coordination with District Administration and Police, on Thursday carried out a massive anti-encroachment and demolition drive in Gole area.
The drive aimed at reclaiming encroached land and taking action against violators.
The operation was well coordinated in which District Administration provided magisterial support and presence of police ensuring the smooth conduct of the anti-encroachment drive.
