A protest on Thursday was held in the Larnoo-Kokernag area in Anantnag district against the Jammu and Kashmir administration\u2019s decision to evict people from the state land.
\nIt was the first major protest against the J-K governor administration\u2019s order issued on January 4 asking all illegal occupants of the state land to leave the places within seven days or face action.
\nThe protestors assembled at Bidhard in Larnoo and raised slogans against the administration for issuing eviction notices to them, officials said.
\nThey said the protestors submitted a memorandum to local authorities, demanding the Lt Governor administration revoke the order.
\n\u201cThe order has created panic among the people as it will make them homeless and landless. The land was provided to the people for making homes and cultivation. Many houses have been constructed on these lands under the PMAY,\u201d Chaudhary Haroon Khatana, a local activist spearheading the protest, said.
\nHe said the issue of eviction has concerned people from across Jammu and Kashmir and would hit the poor hard.
\n\u201cThe government should reconsider and withdraw this order as people of Jammu and Kashmir should be the main beneficiaries of its resources,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
