In Photos: Rohingya Eviction Drive Carried Out In Jammu

Rohingya families in Jammu’s Narwal area began dismantling makeshift huts and shops after authorities served notices to landowners. The action comes weeks after a central committee on demographic changes visited the region and inspected Rohingya settlements. Families were seen packing belongings as they prepared to leave the plots.
