The Jammu and Kashmir police on Thursday decided to attach immovable properties of civilians used for militancy in Kashmir, as top officials called for tougher action against militants whose numbers are showing no let-up in the Union Territory.
“The process has started for the attachment of some immovable properties which have been used for militancy as per Section 2(g) & 25 of the ULP Act. Don’t give shelter or harbour militants and associates. Legal action will be supplemented by property attachments as per law,” a police spokesman said in a statement.
Officials said they had identified around a dozen houses where militants took shelter, planned attacks or where encounters broke out in Srinagar in the past two years.
