Speaking on occasion, Javid Reshi said, "College Ground, Air Field, Media Complex, Parade Ground Parking, Yaseen English School and many other places are being used without due rent.
He alleged that elected representatives from Poonch had utterly failed to raise this issue and legislators always had the ignored realty. He further said there are more than two hundred shops in Poonch over Waqf Property, who pay only rupees 100/month in waqf treasure. He also said Yaseen English School is paying only rupees 400/m for 33 class rooms, which is cruel joke with the Aquaf administration.
