Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Monday vowed to bring the perpetrators behind the killing of Kashmiri Pandit bank guard Sanjay Sꦛharma to book and termed the incident &🅠quot;unfortunate".
Terrorists on Sಌunday shot dead the 40-year-old Sharma in Pulwa𝐆ma district while he was on his way to a local market.
"It is an extremely unfortunate incident. No words are enough to condemn the killi✅ng. Whoever has carried out the act, our security forces will take care of them,” Sinha tol🍃d reporters here.
He said while such incidents can create doubts in the minds of the people about the security scenario, the administration and sec🦄urity forces were working "with a 360 degr꧂ee approach".
"The situation today is much better but we are working towards mꦍaking it a ꦗmodel situation," he added.
On📖 the imposition of property tax, Sinha said it was least in the country🍰 and did not burden the common man.
"We have repeatedly said the administration b🌳elieves in dialogue. 👍I want to tell residents of J-K that we have imposed least property tax.
"There 5.20 lakh houses in the cities. Out of these, 2.06 l♏akh are smaller than 1,000 squar🅷e feet which means there is no property tax for 40 per cent houses," he said.
"There are 2.06 lakh houses which are smaller than 1,500 square feet. On these, the maximum tax is 🦋Rs 1,000 per year. If I compare it with Shimla, Dehradun or Ambala. It is o🐭ne-tenth of these places. If common masses have any problems, they should write to the administration," he said.
He said whil🌌e 46 per cent of the 1.10 lakh shops will b💖e paying less than Rs 700 per year, another 30 per cent will be paying under Rs 2,000 per year.
"The tax collected will be deposited with the concerned municipality and used for development of that area and for improving facilities to the people," he s🉐aid.
Th♏e Union Territory administrat🥀ion on Tuesday ordered the imposition of property tax in municipal areas from April 1.
