[ad_1]
SRINAGAR: On the instructions of Commissioner Secretary to Government, Revenue Department and Divisional Commissioners, the Evacuee Property Department with the active support of all District Administrations has retrieved huge chunks of evacuee land of different nature particularly agricultural at various places during last few months.
As per an official statement issued here, it has been given out that the department has for the first time reconciled the figures of evacuee land in the Valley in due consultation with the Revenue Department and wherever the hidden property was found, the same was notified as an ‘Evacuee Property’ under Section 6 of J&K Evacuees` (Administration of Property) Act, Svt. 2006 and its retrieval on spot.
The Evacuee Property department has the mandate towards safeguarding the evacuee property as such as and when reports of encroachment are available, the department acts swiftly with the collaboration of Revenue Department and retrieves illegally occupied evacuee land from the encroachers/ land grabbers/ illegal occupation.
The department has appealed to the general public to refrain from raising illegal constructions on the evacuee land and illegal occupation thereof failing which action as warranted under the relevant provisions of J&K evacuees` (Administration of Property) Act, Svt. 2006 shall be taken against the violators.
The Tehsildars who are also Assistant Custodian of the Evacuee property have been directed to ensure timely action on any type of encroachment if any surfaced within their jurisdiction.
With the active support of relevant quarters, the department has been able to carry out reconciliation of E.P Record with Revenue Department for identification of evacuee property and its reflection in the revenue records. This has helped to trace out the hidden property, illegal occupation and total quantum of land.
The department completed demarcation of evacuee land at various places and the process is still going on. This will follow retrieval thereof by removal of encroachment, illegal occupation/ cancellation of lease during last two years
It has also prepared a proper inventory of evacuee land and land bank, besides, the exercise of photography and geo-tagging of evacuee property is underway.

The identified chunk of land shall be utilized for developmental projects by UT Government either by lease or acquisition mode besides commercially viable land for gainfully utilization.
So far, the department has also provided land for various public purposes such as setting up of government offices and institutions and for such noble causes as setting up of hostels for wards of police and armed forces martyrs.
The practice of allotment of land on the basis of individual request has been done away with and now a transparent procedure of auction to determine lease premium of property has been adopted. In this connection recently the department has auctioned various flats and shops in Srinagar city and also auction of shops in Baramulla is under way. Various patches of land have also been identified which will put to auction to determine lease, after giving wide publicity.

Use Of Bulldozers Has Made Kashmir Worse Than Afghanistan: Mehbooba Mufti

[ad_1]
SRINAGAR: Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) President and former chief minister, Mehbooba Mufti on Monday said that the use of bulldozers have made Kashmir worse than Afghanistan.
Addressing a news conference in New Delhi, Mehbooba said the anti-encroachment drive launched in Jammu & Kashmir is being used as a weapon to suppress the people.
She said they are not against the government’s move to retrieve the land from land grabbers, but livelihood of people should not get affected.
Mehbooba also alleged that the drive is aimed at taking the shelters away from the people and the situation in Kashmir has been turned worse than Afghanistan.
While responding to a query, she said that the elections cannot be a solution to the Kashmir issue.
She said that the government is trying to divert the attention from the main issue of Statehood, restoration of Article 370 and other things. “We want a complete solution to Kashmir issue,” she said. (KNO)

Make Bulldozer Last Resort, Give People Chance To Prove Their Claim: Omar to J&K Admin

[ad_1]
SRINAGAR: Stating that the ongoing demolition drive going on across J&K has triggered a wave of frustration and chaos among people, National Conference vice-president Omar Abdullah Monday advocated that the government should make the bulldozer its last resort, give people a chance to prove their claim and issue proper notices to the people having illegal possession of State land. He was quick to add that the National Conference was not against those who have grabbed State land but “a proper procedure should be followed.”
“In J&K, there is chaos everywhere. Bulldozers are being sent everywhere to demolish houses, complexes and buildings. But nobody knows what is the procedure and on what basis this demolition drive is being conducted,” said Omar while addressing a press conference in Srinagar, as per news agency KNO.
He said his sister approached the High Court with regard to the proposed demolition of the Gupkar house of Omar and was told by the government before the Court that the list making rounds in the media are “forged.” “Given the government response in the court, I urge the government to make the genuine list of people who have grabbed State land public,” he said.
Omar suggested a slew of measures to the government with regard to the demolition drive. “No government is supposed to bring trouble for the people. Bulldozers should be the last resort. The Government must issue proper notices to those who, according to it, have grabbed State land and given them at least six weeks’ time to prove their claim on land under them and show the documents,” he said. “In our case, my sister produced the documents before the HC that states that the lease of Gupkar house is still active and has some years to expire. Likewise, people should be given time to present the documents and let the revenue team verify the same. If after proper verification land under anybody is found under illegitimate possession, then a bulldozer can be used for sure.”
Omar said that the government should also make a public “genuine list of people who have occupied State land.” “It seems that the ongoing drive is aimed at creating a wedge between communities. This drive lacks proper procedure,” he said.
He said in the case of demolition of NC leader Ali Muhammad Sagar, he found that no notice was served. “There is a procedure that if the person doesn’t receive the notice, the same is fixed on the front portion of the gate. Nowhere this is being done,” he said, adding, “Officials accompanying bulldozer at Nedous, told my relatives that they had pressure from the top and have to do something to show their bosses.”
Omar said in many areas the ongoing demolition-cum-eviction drive is becoming a “hub of corruption.” “I got many calls from several areas with people saying that they are being told to pay Rs 1 or 1.5 lakh to get their names removed from the list,” he said.
He said that NC MPs will try to raise the issue in the Parliament if they are given time to speak.

To a query that whey NC would approach the court on the issue, Omar said that he has suggested some measures to the government and that if the J&K administration fails to give positive response, they would surely consult lawyers and discuss the future course.

Kashmir Girl Bags Prestigious Bal Rashtriya Puraskaar Award

[ad_1]
SRINAGAR: A 16-year-old girl from south Kashmir’s Anantnag district was awarded the Pradhan Mantri Rashtriya Bal Puraskar (PMRBP) 2023 award.
Hanaya Nisar, a resident of Kokernag area of Anantnag, has been given this award as she had represented India and won the gold medal in the 3rd World SQAY Martial Arts Championship held in Chingju, South Korea in October 2018. Hanaya, who is an 11th class student, said that she feels much honoured to receive the prestigious award and everyone around her including Sqay Federation of India, family and relatives are very much happy.
Hanaya has so far won dozens of gold medals in martial arts at international, national and state level. She has recently won gold medal in 23rd sqay national championship held in Jammu besides that she was given Champion of Champions title by Sqay Federation of India.
“I guess the sports infrastructure needs more improvement as the biggest challenge that they have also faced is of sponsorship that almost every sports person faces. I guess that is something which can create a great impact on your journey,” she said when asked about sports infrastructure in J&K.
On being asked about her future plans, she said she wants to continue playing Sqay Martial Arts and pursue law as well.
The Pradhan Mantri Rashtriya Bal Puraskar (‘Prime Minister’s National Award for Children’), formerly called the National Child Award for Exceptional Achievement, is India’s highest civilian honour for children, awarded annually by the Ministry of Women and Child Development.
Bal Puraskar is given to children aged five to 18 for their achievements in six categories: Art & Culture, Bravery, Innovation, Scholastic, Social Service, and Sports. Each PMRBP awardee receives a medal, a cash prize of Rs1 lakh, and a certificate.
This year, eleven children from across India were awarded for their outstanding achievements in the fields of art and culture (4), bravery (1), innovation (2), social service (1), and sports (3). (KNO)
