In March last year, the Jammu and Kashmir police decided to attach immovable properties of civilians used for militancy in Kashmir, as top officials called for tougher action against militants. 

“The process has started for the attachment of some immovable properties which have been used for militancy as per Section 2(g) & 25 of the ULP Act. Don’t give shelter or harbour militants and associates. Legal action will be supplemented by property attachments as per law,” a police spokesman had then said in a statement.
