SRINAGAR: Indian authorities have seized the properties of two more Kashmiri residents in Srinagar district of Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), as the ongoing crackdown involving raids, arrests, and property confiscations continues across the territory.
According to Beyond Time News, the latest actions targeted residential properties in Srinagar and formed part of a wider campaign being carried out by authorities in the region.
The developments have drawn attention as property seizures remain a contentious issue in IIOJK, where authorities have expanded enforcement measures in recent years.
Residential Property Seized in Bemina
Officials confiscated a double-storey residential house along with nearly four marlas of land located in Firdous Colony, Bemina.
The property reportedly belongs to Mudasir Ahmad Pir, a resident of the area.
Authorities estimated the value of the property at approximately INR 1.5 crore.
The action was carried out under official directives as part of ongoing enforcement operations in the territory.
Another Property Attached in Maharajgunj
In a separate operation, authorities seized a residential house and adjoining land in the Maharajgunj area of Srinagar.
The property reportedly belongs to Shafiq Ahmad Khawaja, a resident of Karnah in Kupwara district.
Officials valued the property at around INR 50 lakh.
The latest attachment adds to a series of similar actions reported across different districts of IIOJK over recent years.
Crackdown Continues Across IIOJK
Authorities say the actions form part of the “Nasha Mukt Jammu and Kashmir Abhiyan,” a campaign aimed at addressing various security and law-enforcement concerns.
The initiative has involved raids, detentions, investigations, and property-related actions in multiple areas.
Officials maintain that such measures are being conducted under existing legal frameworks and administrative procedures.
However, the campaign continues to generate debate among political observers and human rights advocates.
Increase in Property Seizures Since 2019
Observers note that property confiscations have increased since August 2019, when the Indian government revoked the special constitutional status of Jammu and Kashmir.
Since then, authorities have carried out numerous operations involving the seizure of homes, land, and commercial assets across the territory.
Supporters of the measures argue that they are part of broader security and administrative efforts.
Critics, meanwhile, contend that such actions have significant social and economic consequences for affected families and communities.

Concerns Over Economic Impact
Analysts say property seizures can have long-term effects on households by limiting access to assets and financial resources.
Many residents view land and property as vital sources of economic security and family wealth.
As a result, each new confiscation attracts considerable public attention and often sparks wider discussions about governance, rights, and economic stability in the region.
The issue remains one of the most closely watched aspects of the situation in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
Ongoing Debate Over Administrative Measures
The latest actions come amid continuing debate over policies implemented in IIOJK since 2019.
Political groups, civil society organizations, and rights advocates have frequently raised concerns about property-related actions and their broader implications.
At the same time, authorities continue to defend their policies as necessary for maintaining law and order.
With enforcement operations ongoing, the issue is likely to remain a significant topic of discussion in the coming months.
