Jammu: Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha Friday said that in the UT, people use internet data, buy I-phones and pay to play videos and wondered why there was a hue and cry over the imposition of nominal property tax, clarifying that the money collected from property tax will be used to development and welfare of the people.
Addressing a function at Jammu, LG said that the administration hardly gets the power tariff and water bills paid by the people.
“In J&K, people pay to use internet data, buy I-phones and play videos, I wonder why there is a hue and cry over the imposition of property tax,” he said, adding that there will be a push to the GDP in J&K once property tax will be collected.
