Kashmiris ‘encroaching on land’ in Jammu
Jammu, September 14 Mr Onkar Seth, JSM leader, today alleged that all this was being done under a well thought-out plan by the Kashmir centric rulers who were allotting housing plots to Kashmiris and encouraging them to purchase private lands in and around Jammu. However, no person from Jammu and elsewhere has been allotted housing plots in the Kashmir valley. He alleged that thousands of families from Kashmir had encroached upon government land here to construct residential buildings while the authorities were a mute spectator. A forest on the outskirts of the town had been encroached upon and houses constructed by cutting green trees. The JSM has urged the Governor to order an inquiry as to how the Bangladeshis apprehended by the BSF were being allowed to settle down here.
