History

The history of Haripora Harwan, commonly known as New Theed, dates back to the 1940s. According to the speech delivered by the well-known historian and expert on vedic scriptures and philosophy, Professor Triloki Nath Ganjoo, the word "Theed" is the altered form of the original word "/θɪrɑː ðrə/" (phonetic transcription) mentioned in Sharada Script. This place is mentioned in the Sharada Script with special reference to the incident with one of the Hindu goddesses, Zeashta Devi during the Vedic era. In 1940-1942, the Dogra Ruler, Hari Singh, forced the mass migration of people from their homeland old Theed, the present-day Chashma Shahi, Botanical Garden, Royal Springs Golf Course, Raj Bhavan, and Hari-Niwas. During the mass migration process, people resettled in different areas of Kashmir like Nishat-Zithyar, Brein, Pampore, Gupt Ganga Ishber, Khunmoh, Zakura, Hazratbal, Islamabad, Sarnal Anantnag, Satoora Tral, Pantha-chowk, Lasjan, and Nowgam. However, the majority of the people preferred to stay in the New Theed, which was allotted to them by the government as a substitute land without any monetary compensation or any other benefits. Hari Singh set up the revenue settlement committee that included Prithvi Nath (Tehsildar), Nurjin Nath, Gopi Nath (Naib Tehsildar), Badri Nath, Sadurdin, Ahmad Syed, Pundit Lasa Bhat, Patwaris (village accountant) at the time of migration. On a local level, Ghulam Ahmad Bhat S/O Abdul Salam Bhat facilitated the entire process. Ghulam Mohammad Bhat S/O Ghulam Ahmad Bhat and Mohammad Akbar Hajam rendered their duties as the Jareeb-Kash (Land Surveyor). Other Government officers who were part of the resettlement process included Abdul Hamid Banihali and M. M. Sidique, the Financial Commissioner. Each household was proposed to be given 2 Kanals of land for every 1 Kanal of land owned at Old-Theed, with a proper land revenue record. However, unfortunately, the proposal has not been implemented so far. During migration, no rehabilitation process was adopted, depriving its inhabitants of their fundamental rights. To get genuine compensation and registration of the land record in favour of the inhabitants of New Theed, the village Awaqaf Committee initiated a court petition that is still pending in the court.
