No transparency in ongoing anti-encroachment drive: KCC&I

Srinagar : Kashmir Chamber of Commerce and Industries (KCC&I) on Thursday said that there is no transparency in the ongoing anti-encroachment drive launched by the government.

Addressing a news conference, Sheikh Ashiq, president of KCC&I, as per the news agency said that there is a need to set accountability in the ongoing anti-encroachment drive and that a formal order should be issued in this regard so that the people are aware about it completely.

“We have talked to the higher ups today after the shops were sealed at Aftab Market yesterday and we have been assured that no such measure involving the livelihood of people will be taken,” he said.

He said that they are not here to shield the land mafia and those who have grabbed the land, but the livelihood should not get affected and thus a formal order in this regard is imperative to end the chaos.

“We have urged the government to come clear in this regard. We have been assured that the chaos will end soon,” he said–(KNO)
