JAMMU, MAY 27: The Jammu and Kashmir Real Estate Authority (JKRERA) conducted a series of inspections of illegal colonies in Kathua and Udhampur districts.
The inspections were conducted in the presence of Tehsildar Kathua and Naib Tehsildars Udhampur respectively.

Tehsildar Kathua was asked to provide detailed revenue records of the inspected colonies. Also, notices were issued to the defaulters, directing them to register with JKRERA. The revenue staff of both Udhampur and Kathua districts has been instructed to ensure that developers register their real estate projects with JKRERA before advertising, marketing, booking, selling, offering for sale, or inviting persons to purchase any plot, apartment, or building, in any planning area. This registration is mandatory under Section 3 of the JKRERA Act and must be completed prior to any such activities.
Speaking on this, Chairperson JKRERA Satish Chandra said “Our aim is to promote transparency and accountability in the real estate sector, protect consumer rights and ensure planned development in accordance with the Unified Building Bye-laws (UBBLs).” He emphasized that these kinds of inspections will help curb the growth of illegal colonies lacking basic facilities.
