Stranded J&K labourers feeling betrayed, cheated by BJP regime: Harsh
5/6/2020 9:46:39 PM
Early Times Report

Jammu, May 6: Seeking immediate evacuation of J&K labourers stranded outside, Harsh Dev Singh Chairman-JKNPP and former minister lambasted the BJP led govt. and the J&K administration for their failure to provide requisite assistance to the said work force held up in other states amidst innumerable hardships.
“Several stranded labourers were reported to have sold their watches, mobiles etc. to meet their requirements for food, shelter and transportation. Having been rendered penniless, they were eagerly awaiting their evacuation. While other states of the country have pressed special trains into service for eviction of labourers of their respective states, the J&K authorities seemed to be in a state of utter confusion with regard to the modus operandi to be followed for evacuation of its work force,” said Harsh.
Harsh said the help-lines given by authorities were either non functional or non responsive. All those workers who had returned to state from outside had done so at their own expenses with not a single penny having been paid to them by Centre or the UT govt. The concerned authorities of J&K were issuing one notification after the other every day with new helpline numbers and new e-mail id details while asking the workers to fill up online forms, he said.
“While the union as well as various state govts had evacuated several stranded passengers through state sponsored aircrafts, the J&K govt had failed to arrange even trains for its stranded workers leading to frustration and despair amongst the affected work force and deep sense of outrage and disappointment amongst their family members desperately awaiting the arrival of their NOKs. Harassment of J&K labourers who had travelled at their own expense from outside states but were stopped at Lakhanpur with none to address their concerns or to provide them medical aid or even food for days together,” said Harsh.
