Srinagar,02-Feb: Hundreds of Kisan Tehreek activists across the region on Thursday assembled at Press, Enclave,Srinagar, held protest demonstration and took out a rally upto Ghanta Ghar Lal Choowk, chanted slogans against administration’s forcible land eviction of poor kisans in J&K. While addressing the protestors Zahoor Ahmad Rather, General Secretary voiced deep concern over the administration’s move to deprive the people from land registered under various titles in revenue records across Jammu and Kashmir and said that eviction of farmers from the agricultural lands in their possessions for decades,even from 1890 is arbitrary, irrational and in violation of various existing laws and norms. The administration is blind towards the destruction of the livelihood of the rural poor. The administration is conducting false propaganda that the land is being acquired for development purposes but the facts are contrary to its claims.
