According to Baaghi TV, the Occupied Jammu and Kashmir Administration has approved amendments to the Control of Building Operations Act 1988 and the Jammu and Kashmir Development Act, 1970.
This action was taken so that any area of Jammu and Kashmir can be given the status of “Strategic Areas” where the Indian Armed Forces can carry out irregular constructions and other related activities.
According to the South Asian Wire, the existing camps of the Indian Armed Forces located in different parts of the country are considered as strategic areas.
Land is currently being acquired for the construction of new camps and cantonments and the construction that is going on there will be permanent.
