Over 600 Non-Locals Purchased Land in Jammu and Kashmir Post Article 370 Abrogation

After a special status for Jammu and Kashmir ended in August 2019, people from other parts of India were allowed to buy land there.

Since then, over 600 people from outside the region have bought land.

They spent a lot of money, over 129 crore rupees, to buy almost 387 pieces of land.

Most of this land was bought in the Jammu area, which is part of the region.

In the Kashmir area, fewer people bought land, but they still spent a good amount of money.

The government shared this information in the assembly.

No land was given to outsiders for big projects like malls or hospitals, only for private purchase.

More people started buying land in 2021, and the amount of money spent has gone up each year since then.
