Jammu: In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, residents of Kishanpur Kandi in Kathau district staged a protest on the Jammu-Pathankot highway, disrupting vehicular traffic over persistent crop damage and incidents of physical assault by land grabbers backed by people in the power.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, the agitating farmers raised slogans demanding immediate intervention from the administration and police. Villagers said that miscreant elements routinely let cattle loose during the night, which stray into agricultural fields and cause extensive damage to standing crops, resulting in financial losses estimated in lakhs of rupees.<\/p>\n

They further said that whenever they confronted the elements, they were met with hostility and physical assault as if they are backed by powerful circles. Despite multiple complaints lodged with the police, the office of Senior Superintendent of Police, and district administration officials, no concrete action had been taken, the protestors said.<\/p>\n

Frustrated by administrative inaction, locals blocked the highway, bringing traffic to a standstill.<\/p>\n

Station House Officer Rajbagh, Sushil Sharma, along with a police contingent reached the spot and assured the protesters of prompt legal action against the culprits.<\/p>\n

Following the assurance, the villagers dispersed peacefully. The protesters also demanded immediate removal of encroachments from state land.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
