24 Persons Fined Rs 25,000 For Encroaching On Evicted Govt Land

[ad_1]
SRINAGAR: Acting tough against encroachment, Tehsildar Wagoora in north Kashmir’s Baramulla district passed eviction orders and imposed a fine of Rs 25, 000 each on twenty-four identified persons (encroachers) who had again encroached upon the evicted state land within the tehsil.
Tehsildar Wagoora, Mubashir Amin (JKAS) said that the move was taken to send a stern message to the encroachers over grabbing the government land.
“During the anti-encroachment drives carried out time and again, at least 170 kanals of state/kahcharai land was retrieved from the encroachers at Kachwa Maqam area of the tehsil and was later handed over to the Rural Development Department for undertaking various kinds of development including developing playgrounds for the youth. However, the miscreants later again encroached upon the evicted land, forcing us to take this harsh step,” he said.
So far, 24 people have been identified, who have grabbed the state land again and are creating hurdles in the developmental activities undertaken by the government, Amin said, adding that the identified encroachers were also called in his chamber and cautioned against encroaching the land again, but despite warnings, they didn’t desist.
Meanwhile, warning the encroachers to desist from violating the government directives in the future and asking them to remove the encroachments immediately, the Tehsildar said they have decided to impose a fine of Rs 25,000 each on the 24 identified persons.
The government earlier took the step to retrieve the state land, including Roshni and Kahcharai land and had instructed all Deputy Commissioners to ensure that all encroachments are removed to the extent of 100 percent by January 31, 2023. (KNO)

SRINAGAR: Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha Wednesday launched three significant initiatives, ‘Kisan Sampark Abhiyan’, Daksh Kisan (Skilling of farmers) & Kisan Sathi (IT Dashboard for digitisation of services for farmers) for effective and efficient implementation of projects under Holistic Development of Agriculture and Allied Sectors.
The Lt Governor said the four month long ‘Kisan Sampark Abhiyan’ with help of PRIs focusing on farmers’ orientation, skilling courses for all interventions, will ensure that the meticulous plan reaches the fields and prepare our farmers to meet new challenges, explore new possibilities and make the farming accessible & profitable.
10,695 training sessions between April to August 2023 in all 20 districts will bring together entire farming community and the collective resolve will not only make the scheme an unprecedented success but also provide a new direction to young farmers, he added.
“Holistic development of agriculture and allied sectors have three important dimensions, economic development, social inclusion and environmental protection and this campaign would pay special attention on these for the progress and lasting prosperity of farmers,” said the Lt Governor.
Earlier, the UT-level training & orientation program of officers for effective implementation of 29 projects under holistic agriculture development plan was conducted during Phase-I.
The Lt Governor reiterated the UT Government’s commitment to empower the farmers of J&K and providing them easy access to productive resources, financial, technical support and the extension services.
“Empowering smallholder farmers is our top priority. Under the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, various steps have been taken to strengthen rural infrastructure, to increase productivity and diversification to higher value crops,” he said.
The Lt Governor called upon all the stakeholders to come together to ensure effective implementation of Holistic Agriculture Development Plan.

The collaborative efforts of UT administration, PRIs, Progressive farmers, Cooperative Societies, Self-Help Groups, FPOs and other stakeholders will be the central pillar of the efforts to realize the goal of atmanirbhar Jammu Kashmir in agriculture sector, he added.
The Lt Governor asked the banking institutions and government departments to bridge the gap in financial assistance to the farmers.
Sinha also highlighted the efforts to attract investment in agriculture, developing a rural-urban market network and enabling small farmers to play a big role in the value chain.
Keeping in view the agro-climatic condition, we have mapped such areas where there is no irrigation facility but there is a possibility of growing millet crops, which can ensure good price to the farmers for their produce. This will also contribute to the millet revolution in Jammu Kashmir, said the Lt Governor.
