Jammu and Kashmir school education department ordered cessation of academic activities in over 300 schools of Falah-e-Aam Trust (FAT), an affiliate of banned Jamaat-e-Islami, here on Tuesday.

This development came after SIA (State Investigation Agency) Jammu and Kashmir registered FIR against FAT and after probe alleged gross illegalities, outright frauds, mass-scale encroachment of government lands.

Officials allege that Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI) mostly draws its sustenance from the vast network of FAT schools, seminaries, orphanages, pulpits of mosques and other charities.
