This is another example of government over extending its authority.
Public property is not the same as governemnt property. The government is the custodian of public property.
The state government of Kashmir has no right to give away public land to anyone without the consent of the people. This can be done by either putting the measure on the ballot or by a vote in the state assembly.

If it's people's property then you should know who are those people...Kashmiri-hinuds since vedic time (it's very sad that they are living in refugee camp in their own country now as refugee)

what public land ? it's govt. land and govt has right to utilize it for providing shelters and toilet facility to the pilgrims . It's not as big deal as govt subsidy to haz pilgrims every year.
Why to adopt a double std and do hue-n-cry over peaceful issue. This is a plain hypocracy .
