  • 85 eligible LOI holders allotted flats through an open, transparent process

JAMMU: The Jammu Development Authority (JDA) on Friday conducted the Draw of Lots for allotment of flats at JDA Heights Phase II, Lower Roop Nagar, marking an important milestone in the Authority’s efforts to ensure transparency, fairness and accountability in the allotment of residential properties.

JDA has initiated the process for construction of 144 residential flats, comprising 24 five-BHK, 48 three-BHK and 72 two-BHK flats. Against these flats, 85 eligible applicants, who had been issued Letters of Intent (LOIs) during 2022 and 2023, participated in the draw.

The Eighty five allotments include seven  5-BHK out of total 24; Forty one 3-BHK  out of 48 and  thirty seven 2- BHK out of  total 72. The Draw of Lots was conducted in the presence of the eligible applicants and concerned officials in an open, impartial and transparent manner. The process was undertaken to ensure that every eligible applicant was provided an equal and fair opportunity for allotment.

A significant feature of the exercise was that the successful applicants were handed over their allotment letters on the spot. This initiative has further strengthened the Authority’s commitment towards transparent and citizen-centric service delivery.

The Vice Chairman, JDA, Dr. Rupesh Kumar said “Transparency and fairness are at the core of JDA’s allotment process. The Draw of Lots has been conducted in an open and impartial manner so that every eligible applicant receives an equal opportunity. The on-the-spot issuance of allotment letters is another step towards ensuring greater transparency and strengthening the confidence of citizens in the Authority.”

The applicants present during the draw also expressed their appreciation for the transparent manner in which the proceedings were conducted. Several beneficiaries welcomed the initiative of issuing allotment letters immediately, describing the process as fair, orderly and transparent.

We at JK Monitor are profoundly saddened by the sudden demise of our Founding Chairman, Dr. Priya Ranjan.IN LOVING MEMORY Dr Priya Ranjan

A brilliant mind who studied at Netarhat Residential School and graduated in Electrical Engineering from IIT Kharagpur before earning his PhD from the University of Maryland, Dr. Ranjan chose to return to India and dedicate his life to teaching, research and social good.

His pioneering work in networked systems, AI, robotics and biomedical applications—especially computer-vision tools for early detection of cancer and heart disease—reflected his deep belief that advanced technology must serve humanity.

For more than 15 years at JK Monitor, he remained a loyal friend, mentor and collaborator, marked by rare humility, intellectual integrity and quiet generosity. His passing leaves a void that cannot be filled. Priya, you will be deeply missed. Your life continues to remind us that knowledge finds its highest purpose in the service of others.
