Land owners in Ganderbal protest against semi-ring road’s realignment

Several land owners in Ganderbal district on Monday held a protest demonstration against the authorities for changing the alignment of the proposed semi-ring road project.

Dozens of land owners from Larsun and other adjoining areas held a protest demonstration demanding that the government should review its decision and continue with the alignment done in 2014 for which several kanal of the land was acquired.

“There was a survey done in 2014 for the construction of the semi-ring road here and the land coming under it was marked and acquired, however, surprisingly the authorities seem to have changed it and now they are doing another survey for the realignment under which our huge agricultural land is coming up,” said Abdul Rashid, a local.
