According to an official order, three kanals of State land at Gole Gujral will be transferred to the Jammu Municipal Corporation (JMC) for developing a new municipal market.
A total of 33 eligible shopkeepers will be rehabilitated at the new site, while ex-gratia assistance under the NHAI Act will be provided to JMC for the rehabilitation process.
A committee headed by the Divisional Commissioner, Jammu, will oversee the implementation and ensure the new market is developed with all basic infrastructure.
