GANDERBAL: A meeting of the District Rent Assessment Committee was today held under the chairmanship of Deputy Commissioner (DC) Ganderbal, Jatin Kishore, to review and finalize rent assessment cases of various government offices functioning in private rented buildings across the district.
During the meeting, the committee examined 38 pending cases related to rent fixation and reassessment of buildings housing government offices. All the cases were discussed in detail and out of these 29 cases were approved after scrutiny of the relevant records, reports and technical inputs from the concerned departments while remaining were deferred.
The DC emphasized the importance of maintaining transparency and adherence to prescribed norms while assessing rents of private buildings being used for government purposes. He directed the concerned officers to ensure that all pending cases are processed and disposed-off in a time-bound manner to avoid inconvenience to the building owners as well as the departments concerned.
The DC also stressed that government offices should preferably be accommodated in available government buildings and that private rented accommodation should be hired only in cases of genuine and unavoidable requirement. He called for strict adherence to established procedures while hiring such accommodations.
Among others, the meeting was attended by Superintending Engineer R&B Circle Ganderbal, Chief Planning Officer, Assistant Commissioner Revenue, Divisional Forest Officer, Chief Medical Officer, Chief Agriculture Officer, Chief Animal Husbandry Officer, Executive Engineer R&B Kangan and other district officers and officials. Owners of the buildings whose rent assessment cases were taken up during the meeting were also present and shared their views and clarifications before the committee.
