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.
