Six Hotels Sealed in Tangmarg Over Illegal Constructions | Kashmir Life

SRINAGAR: Authorities on Monday sealed six hotels in Tangmarg for carrying out illegal constructions.

An official of the Gulmarg Development Authority (GDA) said that the action was taken as part of the drive against unauthorised structures in the Tangmarg-Gulmarg belt.

The sealed units had allegedly violated approved building norms and expanded structures without permission, he said.

The official said enforcement teams headed by the Tehsildar Tangmarg, with support of local police unit, carried out the sealing after identifying clear violations during inspections. “Similar actions will continue in other areas to check unplanned construction,” he said.

Chief Executive Officer of GDA, Tariq Hussain Naik, issued a stern warning, saying there will be zero tolerance for violations. He urged people to refrain from undertaking any unauthorised construction.

“Illegal constructions will invite strict action. People must follow approved norms or face consequences,” the CEO said.

Officials said the drive is aimed at regulating construction activities and preserving the fragile environment of the tourist zone. (KNO)
