332 kanals of land belonging to J&K under illegal occupation across India


By Tahir Mushtaq 

GNS JAMMU, : Nearly 1332 kanals of land owned by Jammu and Kashmir across the country is under the occupation of the respective state governments or individuals, while the state has been unable to take back the possession of its property with most of the sites facing court cases. 
Be it 100 kanals of land under the occupation of the Defense forces at Raja ji Marg, New Delhi, 1200 kanals at Sarsa and 32 kanals at Amritsar, government has so far not dared to evict the occupants who have almost galloped the property of the state. 
As per the data not only the land but the building and other assets belonging to the state are also under the illegal occupations as in most of the cases the lease deeds signed with parties have expired. 
Chandigarh, Sector 17: The Property which is under the possession of the Labour Ministry, Government of Punjab has not given any positive response to vacate the land despite repeated reminders by the J&K government in recent past. 
32 Kanals land at Amritsar: Around 32 kanals land in Amritsar which was leased out in 1957 is still in possession of tenant despite expiry of lease. “The state government has initiated three court cases against the tenant but a former Manager tempered the records with the result the land is under the occupation of the second party”. 
The report also mentions that no action was initiated against the erring official and he was allowed to go scot free. 
At Raja Ji Marg, New Delhi: Despite repeated requests by the government, the Defense Forces have refused to evict 100 kanals of land. Only during the tenure of Ghulam Nabi Azad as Chief Minister, the government succeeded in getting back 18 rooms of a building situated at the site. 
1200 kanals land at Sarsa: The land has been allotted to some other party by the local Assistant Commissioner and the matter has been taken up at the highest level but the case had gone under litigation, making it a long drawn process before the state can get possession of the state. 
Mumbai Guest House: The renovation and repair work on the Mumbai Guest house, as advised by erstwhile Estimates Committee of one bed room suite could not be accomplished because of development of some structural problem in the existing buildings and the government failed to take initiative to renovate the one bed room suite.

GNS RAJOURI : The way opposition People's Democratic Party (PDP) led by former JK Chief Minister and erstwhile union home minister, Mufti Mohammad Sayed has been emerging as a force in the border region of Poonch , Rajouri, is really a worrying situation for Congress and National Conference . It would be much better to say that the situation if more threatening for NC as compared to Congress as the region has always been strong belt of the former for decades . The latest example is the entry of Chowdhary Qamer Hussain of Rajouri in the party fold who was earlier associated with Congress and had contested on Congress ticket from Rajouri in 2002 assembly elections , but had finished second at  that time .

GNS Srinagar, Nov 30: Terming Chief Minister Omar Abdullah’s latest move of courting BJP as his new allies a brazen show of opportunism, opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) today said the National Conference has taken the political immorality to a new low by simultaneously entering into coalition of expedience with Congress and BJP. “As NC has always survived on trickery, its latest move to woo back its old allies (BJP) is in tune with the party’s philosophy of political opportunism and deceit,” PDP chief spokesman Naeem Akhtar said in a statement issued here today. He said, curiously, developing NC-BJP bonhomie coincides with the recent visit of senior BJP leader and Rajya Sabha member Arun Jaitley in Jammu.
