Talking to reporters here, today the general secretary of the Sabha Sompaul Aggarwal said that 8 kanals of land out of 16 kanals belonging to Sabha in its temple premises at Tulsi Bagh, Srinagar was encroached by Nassirullah Khan, son of Mohammed Sadiq Khan of Hamdania Colony, Srinagar on intervening night of October 12 and 13 after he along with 70 musclemen entered into the temple premises with iron rods and lathis and forcefully covered the land of the Sabha by erecting iron sheets and removing the board of the SDS by installing another board reading private land at that place.
