Create jobs, given accommodation to displaced Pandits: Panel 12/7/2015 11:58:12 PM Early Times Report NEW DELHI, Dec 7: A Parliamentary standing committee has expressed its displeasure over the non-implementation of the rehabilitation project for the displaced Kashmiri Pandits leading to decrease in allocation of funds and strongly recommended early approval of jobs and accommodation for them. "The Committee strongly recommends that the Ministry of Home Affairs should take up the matter with the Cabinet for early approval for jobs to be given and transit accommodation to be constructed to Kashmiri migrants," the department-related Parliamentary standing committee on Home Affairs said in its 192 report. The Committee is displeased to note that non-finalisation of projects or other procedural wrangles under rehabilitation of Kashmiri migrants scheme led to under expenditure and decrease in allocation during last fiscal. The panel recommended that the Home Ministry should pursue with cabinet secretariat for early approval of proposed rehabilitation plan. The Committee hopes that the Home Ministry would utilise allocated funds during this fiscal in time. "The Committee feels that the government should look positively into the proposal of the Jammu and Kashmir government in the existing PM's package for relief and rehabilitation of Kashmiri migrants as view of the state government along with representatives of migrants should be given priority while finalising or reformulating any package or rehabilitation plan for the migrants," it said. The Committee notes that the Home Ministry has accorded approval for enhancement of cash relief to the Kashmiri migrants from the present level of Rs 1,650 per person per month to Rs 2,500 per person per month and recommends that the matter should be pursued vigorously with the Ministry of Finance for their concurrence.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
