| War hysteria triggers migration along LoC in Akhnoor | | |  Early Times Report
jammu, Oct 1: War hysteria has triggered massive migration along the LoC in Akhnoor sector in the aftermath of surgical strikes on militant camps in POK by the army.
Reports said on the instructions of local authorities, the people residing in villages near zero line have started abandoning their homes and hearths due to fresh disturbance on the Line of Control involving different villages of Khour Tehsil.
More than 250 families from village Hamirpur Siddhar have shifted to camp earmarked at Govt Higher Secondary School Khour, sources said adding that different places have been identified for different villages to stay put there till situation limps back to normalcy.
Sources added that after partition in 1947, the successive state governments have not been able to seriously ponder over the issue of repeated migration of people living near international border and LOC due to uncertainty prevailing every now and then there bordering India and Pakistan.
Taking a dig at the casual approach of the state government for showing indifference towards people living adjacent to LOC area, Rano Devi , an old migrant lady entering migrant camp GHSS Khour informed Early Times that in order to ensure honourable stay of those leaving their houses in the event of border disturbances, the government provided them five marla plots at Naiwala, near Jourian for construction of permanent structure there.
Vijay Singh Manhas informed that fifty thousand was provided to affected families for raising plinth on the allotted plots. The plots have mushroom growth of bushes and weeds. A group of migrant families present in the camp rued that after lapse of more than a decade, nothing was done by the government to provide further financial support for raising structure there.
They said that majority of such people are poor and cannot afford further construction on their own.
They said that when there is one Relief and Rehabilitation Department of the State, it is astonishing as to why there are two yard sticks adopted by the government to give step motherly treatment to border migrants in the same state of which they are permanent residents and are supposed to get equal treatment when they get displaced.
Lauding the policy of providing full-fledged facilities including monthly financial aid and constructed houses to their Kashmiri brethren hounded out from Kashmir in 1990, sources told that what deters the state government to at least provide them reasonable financial support to construct their houses on the allotted plots.
They said that if their problem is solved once for all then they shall not be facing any difficulty while moving out of their house under pressing circumstances with local administration making temporary arrangements every time in a hush hush manner.
Sources demanded that the government should frame concrete policy for permanent solution of their chronic grievance of leaving their houses in the event of high tension and cross border firings asking them to shift to safer places which is still their dream to come true. |
