Srinagar: Jammu and Kashmir administration has started a crackdown against illegal properties and encroached government lands in parts of the Union Territory. Illegal houses of terrorists were also razed in the anti-encroachment drive in the valley. However, crisis-hit Pakistan cried foul once again over India's internal matter.

The eviction drive has been conducted against illegal encroachment by 'big land owners' and 'influential' people. Nearly 23,000 hectares were retrieved during the ongoing anti-encroachment drive in the Jammu division, which began last month.

Earlier, authorities attached the office building of the All Parties Hurriyat Conference in Srinagar. Hizbul terrorist commander Amir Khan's house was partly demolished in Anantnag. 'Illegal' house of wanted Jaish militant Ashiq Nengroo was razed in Pulwama. Pakistan condemned the act citing it as an "assault on political freedoms."

While Pakistan's Kashmir obsession continues, the winds of change have been felt in the Valley. Unlike PoK, which is marred by protests and unrest, peace and tranquillity prevail in J&K. Recently, Bollywood movie Pathaan's shows in Kashmir's first multiplex in decades, remained houseful for days.

However, some politicians including Mehbooba Mufti and Omar Abdullah have raised concerns. (ANI)
