Saroori raises steps for restoration of damaged infrastructure, electricity in erstwhile Doda district on the floor of LA



 
4000 kanals Waqf land under illegal occupation in J&K

Demanded mass awareness of the employment schemes among Youths


Jammu, March 23: - 4000 kanals of Wakf land is under illegal occupation of various institutions and departments of Jammu and Kashmir government besides substantial chunk of around 2500 kanals being held by Security Forces.


This issue was raised by Member of Legislative Assembly (MLA) Inderwal, G. M. Saroori on the floor of the Assembly.


“Government employees should be assigned the task of administrators not some civilians who had been appointed as administrators. There is no way to make them accountable for what has happened in the department. Government should discontinue with the practice,” Saroori said and added that Government employees should be appointed as administrators so that they remain accountable and could be taken to task if they are found negligent in taking care of the Wakf properties.


Saroori said that Government should ensure land is restored to the Waqf department to which it belongs. He further demanded that the administrators appointed by the government should be directed to provide the details after updating the record pertaining to the Waqf land/properties under the illegal occupation of state/central government institutions/ departments/ private persons/ Politicians be got vacated or regularized for usage or ask them to pay the rent as per the notification issued by the Home department from time to time as per the relevant market rates.


Later Minister for Haj and Auqaf, Abdul Rehman Veeri assured Saroori that he would see where Wakf land has been encroached in Jammu and Kashmir and ensure that all measures are taken to either retrieve the land or get adequate rent for the occupied land or atleast get the land regularised with the department.


During Zero hour in LA, Saroori demanded immediate steps for restoration of damaged infrastructure, electricity due to rains in erstwhile Doda district and land compensation for construction of Tourism Projects already sanctioned by the Centre at various tourism spots in Kishtwar and Doda districts.


Saroori has also demanded that Government should take necessary steps for mass awareness of the employment schemes including J&K Self Employment Scheme, Sher-i-Kashmir Employment, Udaan programme beside various Welfare Programme for youth especially in far-off and rural areas so that maximum number of youth could benefit by these schemes.
