The Jammu and Kashmir government has taken over management of multiple private schools linked to the banned Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI) and its affiliate, Falah-e-Aam Trust (FAT), as part of an ongoing crackdown. Authorities aim to ensure smooth administrative transition and uninterrupted education, with Deputy Commissioners tasked to establish new management committees and align schools with National Education Policy standards. This follows previous takeovers and is based on intelligence reports and legal provisions under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.
