Srinagar
To further Hindutva agenda by bringing the demographic change in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, the Modi led fascist Indian regime has now used its Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) to seek land to establish permanent camps for its battalions in the territory.
A meeting for the identification and transfer of land to establish Battalion Camps Sites or (BCSs) in IIOJK was held at the Indian Ministry of Home Affairs last week, and was attended by senior ministry officials as well as those from the CRPF, Police and the local administration.
Reliable sources have confirmed that IIOJK administration would expeditiously dispose of requisitions made by the CRPF after it places request for land according to its requirements. “These requisitions are considered important and are to be dealt with in a time-bound manner,” a senior IIOJK functionary told media in Srinagar, adding that several departments are involved in the process.
The CRPF has provided a list of nine locations in the Jammu region and 20 in Kashmir where the proposed BCSs are to be established. The locations in Jammu include in Ramban district, where the CRPF has sought 41.77 acres of land.
Its requests for Kathua, Jammu, Udhampur, Doda, Reasi and Rajouri are unspecified.
“In Kashmir, the CRPF has identified 20 locations in Srinagar, Badgam, Ganderbal, Bandipora, Baramulla, Kupwara, Islamabad, Kulgam, Pulwama and Shopian.
It wants around 8 acres in Srinagar’s Zakura area, 5 acres in Ganderbal, 5 acres in Pulwama’s Kakpora area and 7 acres in Qazigund. Eight of the 20 locations in Kashmir are in southern part of the Valley, while the rest are in central and north Kashmir,” the sources added.
In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, the All Parties Hurriyat Conference while strongly reacting to the Indian government’s decision to acquire hundreds of acres of land for construction of camps for its paramilitary Central Reserve Police Force has said that the Kashmiris would resist the move, tooth and nail.
The APHC spokesman in a statement issued in Srinagar said Jammu and Kashmir is an internationally recognized dispute and settlement of outsiders in the territory is violation of the UN resolutions on Kashmir.
Hailing the sacrifices and contribution of the veteran Hurriyat leader, Syed Ali Gilani, who has turned 91-year-old, the spokesman said that the towering leader had proved himself as a true symbol of uncompromising resistance against the forced occupation of the territory by India.
He said that the people of Kashmir need his guidance and leadership as Gilani in his all capacity had been a guide and an inspiration with his fearlessness, steadfastness, farsightedness, courage and determination for the oppressed Kashmiri people.
The APHC spokesman added that Syed Ali Gilani’s sacrifices would go down in the history as a golden chapter and prayed for his long and healthy life.—KMS
