New Delhi: In a crackdown on terror networks in Jammu and Kashmir, at least eleven properties worth crores belonging to Jamaat-e-Islami were notified and subsequently sealed by District Magistrate Anantnag after State Investigation Agency (SIA) made a recommendation to the court.

“Today in District Anantnag, properties at eleven locations worth more than 90 crores INR after being notified by DM Anantnag on the recommendation of SIA J&K have been barred with restrictions on usage and entry,” said an SIA spokesperson.

The crackdown comes in a bid to stop the availability of funds for secessionist activities and to dismantle the ecosystem of anti-national elements and terror networks.

The properties were identified as a residential house over land measuring 09 Marls and 07 Sarsai, Orchard land measuring 30 kanal and 1 Marla in village Rakhi Moman Danjipora, shopping complex and Kuthar over land measuring 07 Marlas and 6 Sirsaii in Village Arwani, commercial cum residential structure two-storied building along with two shops at ground floor over land measuring 02 kanals and 01 sarsai in village Jablipora, double storey residential house over land 12 marlas in village Anantnag east Mattan, land measuring 07 marlas and 01 sarsai in Anantnag, land measuring 16 marlas and 07 sarsai in Anantnag under survey no 1929/261, land measuring 06 kanal and 10 marlas in Anantnag under survey no 1923/259 and some other under-construction shops, and four rooms near Iqra English Medium school in village Viddy Srigufwara, and two-storey non-functional building in village Hakoora.

“This has a lot of significance vis-à-vis Jamaat activities. This will end up in crescendo, as the fight against terror networks and unlawful association’s progresses. The action would uproot the menace of terror funding to a great extent in UT of J&K besides being a stepping stone in ensuring rule of law and a society without fear,” the SIA statement read.
