Jammu, Nov 2: After attaching properties of terror sympathizers in different parts of the Union Territory, authorities are now preparing lists of houses constructed by the terrorists and their supporters on encroached land.
Apart from launching an offensive against terrorists, the J&K government is going to give a strong message to terror by demolishing houses illegally built by terrorists on encroached state land.
Highly placed sources said that intelligence agencies have directed different government departments to identify land that was encroached on by the terrorists and their supporters during successive political regimes by using their influence on politicians of different political parties.
Sources said that successive popular governments in J&K gave a free hand to the terrorists and their sympathizers to encroach state and forest land. “Now list of all such encroached land will be prepared and buildings constructed on such encroached land will be demolished”, sources said. Important to mention here that in May District Administration Reasi had demolished the illegal house of a teacher turned terrorist Mohammad Auraf Sheikh, who had been involved in an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) blast at Katra and Narwal, Jammu, which had claimed five innocent lives. As per officials, the team of district administration and police conducted the demolition operation and razed the house of accused Auraf Sheikh, which was illegally constructed on State land under Khasra number No. 602/457/1 at village Baransal Tehsil Mahore, Reasi.
