Jammu: Authorities in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir have demolished the house of a Muslim man and attached the property of another Muslim resident in Samba district, in a move that has raised concerns over the use of collective and punitive measures against individuals and communities.<\/p>\n
According to Kashmir Media Service, officials said police, in coordination with the civil administration, demolished a single-storey residential house belonging to Raj Mohammad at Bela Manohar in Chak Manga area of Samba. The house was worth around Rs 65 lakh.<\/p>\n
In another action, police attached property worth over Rs 43.62 lakh belonging to Farman Ali in Rakh Barotian village of Vijaypur tehsil. The seized assets reportedly included a residential structure and 38 cattle.<\/p>\n
The actions were carried out under provisions of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, according to officials.<\/p>\n
However, such measures against Muslim residents in IIOJK have raised questions about the growing trend of targeting individuals through property demolitions, seizures and other coercive actions, particularly in a region where rights groups have repeatedly expressed concerns over the use of administrative powers against civilians.<\/p>\n
Observers say that demolitions, property attachments and arrests under stringent laws have increasingly become part of a broader pattern of punitive measures in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, disproportionately affecting the Muslim-majority population.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
