Early Times Report
Jammu, May 13: Following inertness of the previous government headed by Omar Abdullah over report of the Kashmir interlocutors despite repeated requests of Union Ministry of Home Affairs, the Chief Secretary is slated to hold a meeting of Heads of all government departments on May 21 to discuss various recommendation; but three departments are yet to forward their comments to Chief Secretary.
Pertinently, the three-member group of interlocutors comprising journalist Dilip Padgaonkar, former Information Commissioner MM Ansari and educationist Prof Radha Kumar were appointed by Government of India in October, 2010 following the violent summer unrest in Kashmir valley in which around 120 civilians were killed. The Interlocutors were asked to suggest measures for the resolution of the problems in Jammu and Kashmir.
Sources informed Early Times that few days back, the MHA has shot a reminder to J&K government, seeking their comments over the report, after which the Chief Secretary had reportedly called a meeting of Head of all government departments.
"The process of seeking comments on the Interlocutor report was started nearly two years back, and all the government departments were asked to send their comments on the report, but three departments including Information department and two others are yet to submit their comments", an official in General Administrative Department (GAD) informed, while pleading anonymity.
He further said that after the meeting, the comments of state government would be finalized and later forwarded to MHA.
Sources said that the group of interlocutors had submitted their report on October 12, 2011, which was in year 2012 forwarded to J&K government for comments but Omar Abdullah led coalition government had no spare time to send their comments.
Sources further said that in absence of any response of J&K government on interlocutors report, the Union government had also failed to take any decision, over the suggestions made by interlocutors in their report. Nearly Rs. 70 Lakh was spent on the visits of three interlocutors to Jammu and Kashmir.
The interlocutors in their repot had suggested for regional councils for all three regions - Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh - to address local aspirations and reduce alienation from the national mainstream and measures to improve governance with a focus on women and children were part of the interlocutors' report.
The interlocutors' report looks at regional autonomy, devolution of power, economic development, bringing the state into the national mainstream, specific issues concerning women and children. |
