  • PDP Protests Against Property Tax Imposition

    PDP Protests Against Property Tax Imposition

    [ad_1]

    SRINAGAR: The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) on Saturday staged a protest march calling for the reversal of the Jammu and Kashmir administration’s decision to impose property tax in the Union Territory starting on April 1. The new tax rates will be 5% for residential properties and 6% for commercial properties.

    Suhail Bukhari, the PDP’s chief spokesperson, and dozens of party members set out on a protest march from the PDP offices near Sher-e-Kashmir Park. The party activists shouted anti-property tax chants and called for its roll-back.

    A police presence near the Traffic Headquarters prevented the protesters from continuing their march into the Lal Chowk city centre.  They later turned back and dispersed.

    Addressing to reporters, Bukhari claimed that the government was attempting to erode the Jammu and Kashmiri people’s purchasing power.

    “First, our political freedoms were taken away; next, democracy was buried here; last, the homes of the poor were destroyed and they were subjected to harassment.  The property tax is next. In the previous five years, Jammu and Kashmir’s economic position has gotten worse. The industrial sector here is weak, and there is no employment (creation),” he said.

    As per the PDP’s chief spokesperson, the government should have held the people’s hands “but instead the BJP government is seeking to deepen the people’s concerns.”

    He urged the government to roll back its decision.

  • Week On, Authorities Yet To Cage Leopard In Srinagar

    [ad_1]

    SRINAGAR: A leopard seen last week in Rawalpora area of Srinagar is yet to be trapped even as the Wildlife Department has permanently stationed its two teams in the area.

    Quoting an official from the Wildlife Department supervising the operation of caging the wild animal, the news agency KNO reported that for the last 48 hours, they did not receive any evidence of sighting of the leopard in the area. “However, we have stationed our two teams there till the animal is trapped. Since last evening, we haven’t received any concrete evidence on the movement of the animal, but our teams are on the ground with active monitoring as cameras have also been installed” he said.

    He said the teams will be monitoring the area round-the-clock and are fully equipped with all required gears.

    “Rawalpora axis and its adjoining areas under a radius of 2-3 km are full of vegetation with thick bushes, and many plots and buildings are laying open which can prove a safe habitat for the wild animal. Sometimes it takes too long to capture, and in a few places, it took us months to cage the animal,” he said. “It is a scare created by a wild animal, not by any human whom we can warn, but we are on it; and as soon as we get to see its presence, our teams are swift and trained to capture it,” he added.

    Urging the people to adhere to the advisory of the Wildlife Department, the official said the people should be careful, especially with the children, while venturing out during morning and evening hours

    “We have already advised and sensitised the people in the areas and have also involved mohallah committees to keep the surroundings free of any bushes or any vegetation so that no animal takes shelter,” the official added.
