Meanwhile, on December 17, another major crackdown was launched against terror funding in Jammu and Kashmir when the State Investigation Agency (SIA) seized properties worth hundreds of crores of rupees of banned Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI) in several districts including Baramulla, Bandipora, Ganderbal, and Kupwara.
