SRINAGAR : The four-day special camp of the Jammu and Kashmir Housing Board concluded today at its Camp Office in Bemina. Running from July 31st to August 3rd, the camp saw active participation from residents of various colonies across the Kashmir division, addressing a wide array of housing-related issues.

Residents from Housing Board Colonies in Bijbehara Anantnag, Nambal Pampore, Ompora Budgam, as well as from Srinagar localities including Bemina, Soura, Bagh-e-Mehtab, Rawalpora, Bootakadal Lal Bazaar, and Jawahar Nagar, engaged with the Housing Board Office. The technical team at the office efficiently resolved most property portal-related issues on-site, addressing concerns regarding plot sales, lease extensions, conversion of leasehold rights, and issuance of NOCs for conveyance deeds.

Cases involving deficiencies in statutory documents and violations of lease conditions due to plot amalgamation or division were identified for further review by the Board of Directors. Additionally, the Managing Director and Housing Board team conducted a field visit to Bagh-i-Mehtab Colony, where there was significant public demand for a Marriage/Community Hall and Graveyard. The MD assured residents that these requests would be brought before the appropriate authorities for approval and funding.

During the camp, the Managing Director highlighted the Board’s commitment to providing continued support and resolving the residents’ issues.
