An anti-encroachment operation was conducted by the Udhampur administration in Jammu and Kashmir, focusing on illegal tin sheds along Dhar Road, near the Air Force Road. Naib Tehsildar Roun Maroof Khan stated that the issue had been longstanding, with many complaints lodged by locals regarding the unauthorized structures. These sheds not only obstructed traffic but also posed accident risks, particularly as they were situated on a busy highway. Security concerns were heightened by the proximity of an Air Force station, where two of the seven sheds were found to have CCTV cameras monitoring the road. The administration issued notices before demolishing the two remaining sheds, while the public voluntarily removed five. This operation aligns with a broader crackdown on illegal structures, similar to a recent demolition drive in Jammu targeting properties linked to drug trafficking.
