Govt: Govt’s Interference In Dairy Booth Allotment Process Unfortunate: Jmc-g Deputy Mayor | Jaipur News

JAIPUR: Speaking on the dairy booth allotment process, deputy mayor of Jaipur Municipal Corporation (JMC)Greater Puneet Karnawat on Thursday said that the government’s interference in the process is unfortunate and the entire process of allotment of dairy booths should be under the license committee.
“Completing the allotment process of 5,000 dairy booths in seven days and presenting the report, is violating the rights of the local bodies. This will lead to corruption in the process as there is barely any time to scrutinize the applications received for such booths,” said Karnawat.
“In Jaipur alone, over 35,000 applications have been received for 1,144 booths. How can all these be checked within one week? In this manner, only those who can pay will be allotted the booths,” he added.
He said that allocation of booths has been a tradition by the license committee with public representatives formed in the local bodies and it is also a democratic right of the local bodies. “By ignoring the local bodies earlier, the process was deliberately delayed by the officers of the allotment committee constituted by the state government. The entire process, from allotment of land to regular monitoring of booths and fees, is executed by the license committee of the local bodies. In such a situation, it is natural to raise questions on the policy and intention of the government by taking away the rights of the license committee,” said Karnawat.
