JAMMU, Oct 15: Senior Kashmiri Pandit leader, M. K. Yogi has expressed grave concern over the failure of Government in restoration, preservation and protection of migrant lands in Kashmir Valley at a number of places.
In a statement issued here, today he said the Government has failed to vacate the illegal occupation of migrant land and other property. The concerned authorities have failed in discharging their assigned role as custodians of the migrant property under Immovable Migrant Property Act, 1997.
Yogi said due to the non-seriousness attitude at the lower level despite clear cut directions from highest office in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir about the same, the migrants are running from pillar to post for getting their property back.
Yogi has once again appealed Lt. Governor, Manoj Sinha to issue clear cut directions again to the custodians to implement the Migrant Immovable Property Act 1997 in true letter and spirit and fix the accountability of any lapse in such issues with severe punishments.
He said illegal encroachments/unlawful possession on migrants land, shrines, temples etc in the Valley by some anti- social elements at a number of places still continues and utter failure of the custodians to restore, preserve and protect the migrant land under the Act 1997 has been a cause of concern for entire KP community.
