Rohingya Families Begin Vacating Jammu Settlements After Landowner Notices
Rohingya families in Jammu have begun dismantling their settlements following notices served to landowners by the civil administration, citing unauthorized use of agricultural land for residential purposes. The action affects areas including Burma Market and Narwal, where many Rohingyas have lived for years. Estimates indicate around 1,500 to over 7,600 Rohingyas reside across Jammu and Kashmir. Residents expressed distress over sudden displacement and uncertainty about relocation, while authorities cited legal grounds for the notices amid increased scrutiny of Rohingya settlements.
