SRINAGAR: In an unprecedented move in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir, the administration in the border district of Kathua has initiated a major crackdown on individuals possessing significant assets without verified sources of income. The drive particularly targets individuals involved in illegal activities, including drug trafficking and bovine smuggling. As part of this initiative, the Kathua district administration has issued notices to encroachers in Panchayat Chak Desa Choudharian, Tehsil Marheen, demanding the immediate vacation of 372 kanal of encroached state land (Kahcharai land). The notice further requires the encroachers to disclose the sources of income and funding used to construct illegal structures on the encroached land. “Some of these individuals had unlawfully occupied a significant portion of state land in the area and have already been subjected to the Public Safety Act (PSA) for their involvement in criminal activities,” said an official spokesman.
