PULWAMA: District Administration Pulwama under the guidance of District Magistrate Pulwama, Kuldeep Krishan Sidha, has intensified anti-encroachment drives to retrieve encroached land and ensure the protection of public and legally entitled properties.

As part of the ongoing drive, migrant land in estate Ladhoo, Tehsil Pampore measuring 07 kanals and 14 marlas and at estate Shar Shali was retrieved from illegal encroachment and handed over to the rightful owners. In a separate action, encroachment on the cremation ground at Achan, Pulwama, was removed under the supervision of the Additional Deputy Commissioner, Pulwama.

The District Administration has urged to the public to refrain from encroaching upon government land, community land, or any other land legally owned by individuals or institutions.

The Administration has further emphasized that a zero-tolerance policy shall be adopted towards any such encroachments, and those found involved in such unlawful activities shall be dealt with strictly in accordance with the law.

A brilliant mind who studied at Netarhat Residential School and graduated in Electrical Engineering from IIT Kharagpur before earning his PhD from the University of Maryland, Dr. Ranjan chose to return to India and dedicate his life to teaching, research and social good.
