Earlier, PDP Chief Mehbooba Mufti raised concerns about the construction of a security forces complex in Pulwama. She said that there will be conflict when security forces start living in residential areas. "Jammu and Kashmir is going through a difficult time, especially since 2019... Yesterday, I visited Pulwama. In the middle of the village, there is a hill with extremely fertile land... Suddenly, a decision has been made to construct a complex for security forces there. We already have less land. We also bought a bill in the assembly to save the land here for the people of Jammu and Kashmir," she said.
