Srinagar, Feb 2 (PTI) Claiming that there is no transparency in the ongoing eviction drive, the Kashmir Chamber of Commerce and Industry on Thursday urged the J-K administration to issue clear orders on its assurance that ordinary shopkeepers will not be evicted.
"There is no transparency in the eviction drive. We are not here to defend the land mafia but there should be clarity on who is an encroacher," KCCI president Sheikh Aashiq told reporters here.
He said many people have valid revenue documents but have been listed as encroachers.
"The government should resolve the problem. People who had valid lease documents till few days ago are now illegal occupants. There is chaos and confusion about the whole issue," he said.
