Srinagar, Jan 13: The Court of the District Magistrate and Deputy Commissioner Srinagar has dismissed the appeals filed by Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited against the eviction order issued by the Sher-i-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences, Soura, clearing the way for recovery of eight kanals of land crucial for the institute’s expansion plans.
The land, comprising survey numbers 326 min, 328 min and 3179 min, had been leased to BSNL Kashmir in September 1982 for a period of 40 years, which expired in September 2022. Officials said no extension or renewal was granted as the land is urgently required for ongoing and proposed infrastructure projects at SKIMS.
