Jammu and Kashmir Issues Eviction Notices for Expired Leases in Srinagar's Prime Areas
The Jammu and Kashmir administration has issued eviction notices to occupants of government-leased properties in Srinagar's upscale areas, including Polo View, Lal Chowk, Karan Nagar, and Rajbagh. Notices cite expired leases, rent defaults, and lack of renewal authorization, directing occupants like the Mohi-ud-Din Trust to vacate by September 21, 2026. This action follows the 2022 Land Grant Rules aimed at reclaiming state land. Officials emphasize legal authority under the J K Public Premises Act, while some locals express concerns about potential impacts on current occupants.
