**Contractor hails from Rajouri; PPCA demands stringent action against culprits

RAJOURI FEB 20:-Amid a recent increase in crime incidents in Jammu, the Pir Panjal Contractors Association (PPCA), Rajouri, has expressed strong resentment over a murderous attack on Rajouri-based contractor Amir Farooq Lone in the crowded Bhatindi area of Jammu city.

Amir Lone, Managing Director of A.L Construction and a resident of Rajouri town, was brutally attacked in front of his office near Makkah Masjid, allegedly by dozens of goons wielding swords, iron rods, and sharp-edged weapons. He was left critically wounded in full public view.

“Such an act of goons in broad daylight in the highly populated Bhatindi area of Jammu city is a matter of grave concern,” said PPCA.

PPCA further alleged that the repeated crime incidents in Jammu and adjoining areas over the last few months have revived decade-old memories of gang wars between groups such as Binny, Riaz Kabootarbaz, Makhoo Raju Pehalwan etc.

The Pirpunjal Contractors Association has appealed to Lt. Governor Manoj Sinha and DGP JKUT to take serious note of the rising crime incidents and constitute a special team of police officers to handle, with an iron fist, the growing ‘goon culture’ in Jammu and prevent such crimes in the future.

PPCA has also requested the concerned police officers to immediately arrest all culprits involved in the attack on Amir Farooq Lone.
