BJP Regime Allocates Vast Land to CRPF in IIOJK
July 4, 2024The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) regime in New Delhi has allocated 53 kanals of state land to the Indian Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) for establishing a new battalion in Baramulla, Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).
Under the orders of the BJP regime led by the Lieutenant Governor, the Revenue Department has transferred 53 kanals and three marlas of land to the CRPF’s 53rd battalion at Kitchama in Baramulla district.
An order from the Revenue Department states, “The CRPF must adhere to all provisions of laws relating to the Revenue/Housing & Urban Development Department, Forest, and J&K Water Resources (Regulation and Management) Act, 2010 before utilizing the land.”
The terms and conditions stipulate that the CRPF must take possession of the land within 30 days from the transfer order and put the land to use within three years. Failure to meet these conditions will result in the land reverting to the government.
This move has significant implications for the region, already marked by tensions and the presence of security forces. The allocation of land to the CRPF is likely to intensify the existing sentiments among the local population and further complicate the situation in the already volatile area.
