Srinagar: The JK All Alliance Democratic Party held a demonstration here on Wednesday against an eviction drive launched by the Jammu and Kashmir administration to retrieve state land from encroachers.
Led by Rakib Ahmad, the protesters assembled near the Pratap Park on Residency Road, raising slogans against the Union Territory administration.
