Jammu, Aug 21: Jagti Tenement Committee, Soan Kashmir Front and PCC Migrant Cell have demanded from the government to address the long pending issues of Kashmiri Pandits. According to press release, a joint meeting of these organizations was held at Jagti township Nagrota, under the chairmanship of Shadi Lal Pandita. Pandita expressed concern over power cuts in Jagti township, which have complicated the conditions of people with heart complications, kidney patients as well as children. “If the government does not stop power cuts the JTC will go on strike on the national highway in Jagti and responsibility lies on PDD”, Pandita said. He also said government is giving a monthly relief to relief holder of Rs 13,000 for a family of four souls or more than four souls. The relief for a family of two souls is Rs 6500 and for a family of one soul is only Rs 3200 which is very low and which is a total injustice being done to the Kashmiri Pandit relief holders”, Pandita said, and appealed government to enhance to Rs. 25,000 per month.
