J&K Admin. issues eviction notices in Srinagar’s high-end market of Lal Chowk, Kara Nagar against Nazool land occupants
The Jammu and Kashmir administration has issued eviction notices to occupants of Nazool land in Srinagar, including the Mohi-ud-Din Trust, for failing to provide valid lease renewal documentation. The government is reclaiming public premises due to unauthorized occupancy and rent defaults.
Why it matters
The move reflects a broader administrative effort to enforce land use regulations and recover government property in high-value commercial areas.
The J&K Administration has issued eviction notices to several occupants of Nazool land, a government property allotted on lease, in Srinagar district that includes the iconic building of the Mohi-ud-Din Trust in the Polo View commercial centre.
“The material produced does not establish the existence of any subsisting lease or an order of renewal/extension from the competent authority. Now, therefore, in exercise of the power’s conferred by Section (1) of the J&K Public Premises (Eviction of Unauthorised Occupants) Act, 1988, I, being the Estates Officer under the Act, hereby order the eviction of the Mohi-ud-Din Trust, Residency Road, Srinagar from the aforesaid public premises,” reads the eviction notice, issued by the Tehsildar, Srinagar.
The eviction order has directed the Trust “to vacate the premises and handover peaceful possession to the Estates Officer on or before 21.09. 2026”.
