Srinagar, Apr 20 :
Authorities on Monday sealed six hotels in Tangmarg for carrying out illegal constructions.
An official of the Gulmarg Development Authority (GDA) told the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO) 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.

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