Manasbal, Chattergul, Wussan, Satran, Cherwan, Gund and Sonamarg.
During the

Defence land at Manasbal by few Govt departments/ organizations like
Sericulture and SKAUST for which they also claim that land has been transferred
to them earlier. The DC asked the ACR Ganderbal to check the actual facts so
that appropriate action is taken by the revenue department in the case.

the revenue officials to fix the timeline for demarcation where ever required
so that actual quantum of land, if any, is handed over to the defence.
