.: News AAP to fight against extending Tosamaidan lease to Indian Army Date: 21 Mar 2014 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AAP to fight against extending Tosamaidan lease to Indian Army Srinagar: Aam Admi Party (AAP) Friday vowed to fight against granting of further extension of lease to Artillery unit of Indian Army for using the Tosamaidan pasture as a filed firing range. In a statement issued to CNS, AAP leader and Lok Sabha candidate for Srinagar parliamentary seat Dr Raja Muzaffar Bhat said that Aam Aadmi Party would resist any move of the Government for granting further extension in the lease agreement post April 2014 as AAP believes that granting extension would directly affect the local population which has suffered tremendous losses from the last more than six decades. He said that the party hopes that high level committee constituted few months back under the chairmanship of Chief Secretary would look into the human aspect first and ensure that the field firing range is shifted from Tosamaidan to some uninhabited area of the state. “If lease agreement is extended AAP would hold state wide agitation over this issue,” the statement reads.
