Anti-encroachment drive to recover state land will continue: LG

Srinagar, Mar 19 (PTI) Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Sunday said the drive to evict illegal occupants of state land in Jammu and Kashmir will be resumed and the recovered land used to fuel industrial revolution in the Union Territory.

"We took the lands. Let me make it clear that we will take back all state land. The state land must remain with the government," Sinha said at the foundation-laying ceremony of first FDI project in Jammu and Kashmir at Sempora here.

The Union Territory administration launched the eviction drive in January this year but had to stop it following protests.
