Welcome To Gulmarg Development Authority

Welcome to Gulmarg Development Authority, Kashmir, India. The State High Court has viewed seriously the conduct of the Gulmarg Development Authority in this respect and has warned action against its officials for not taking any action against those whose lease had expired and were illegally occupying Government property. However, the court granted one more opportunity to the concerned in this respect as it observed that the delay in taking suitable and proper action under rules against those whose lease agreements had expired in Gulmarg as being against the larger interests of the public.

Government , however, has now informed that first phase of recovery of land in Gulmarg from illegal occupants would duly start from the end of this month as also would take decisions in respect of renewal of expired leases. However, the maximum permissible lease period of forty years with no relaxations of any sort was required to be strictly adhered to with usual clauses of upward adjustments in the fees/charges during the currency of the lease so as to ensure increase in Governmental revenues keeping in view the prevailing market rent pricing since leasing out of the properties are generally for commercial purposes and the Government too must mean business when it comes to earning revenues.
