Jammu, April 29 (PTI) Nine residents of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), who were served deportation notices and detained by the police, have claimed they are residents of Jammu and Kashmir and have all the required documents to support this claim.
Those served the notices included constable Iftikhar Ali, who has served in the Police Department for the past 27 years and is currently posted at Katra base camp of Mata Vaishno Devi shrine.

According to the notice, they have been asked to return to Pakistan by April 30.
However the residents backed their case and claimed themselves to be the residents of Jammu and Kashmir.
"While it is understandable to deport Pakistanis, it is a grave injustice to these families who are long-time residents of J-K. They have been living in Salva village since the 1965 Indo-Pak wars and possess all documents such as land records, voter cards, Aadhar cards, etc," Mendhar resident Safeed Choudary told reporters here.
He urged the government not to deport them as they have nothing left there.
With tears, Iftikhar Ali, along with his children and family, said, "Where will we go? We have no one or nothing in PoK. My forefathers' graves are in India. I have been serving in the Police Department for the past 27 years."
Ali, along with his family members, was detained at Belicharan police station in Jammu after being brought from Mendhar. He mentioned that they have approached the court to stay the deportation notice.
"I approached the court due to the situation my family is facing. The court issued a stay order. If I hadn't obtained the stay order, I would have been deported to Pakistan, where I have no one," he told reporters at the police station.
