| Apni Party tribal delegation meets LG in Kathua | | Demands implementation of Forest Right Act in J&K | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
KATHUA, Sept 9: Apni Party leader, Yasir Choudhary today led a tribal delegation which called on Lt Governor Manoj Sinha during his tour in the border district Kathua demanded implementation of Forest Right Act in J&K.
In a statement to the press, the delegation during their interaction with the Lt Governor appraised him about the plight of the nomads and appealed to him to give forest rights to the tribal community in the Union Territory.
He also demanded inclusion of Gojri language as one of the official languages of Jammu and Kashmir.
He also demanded concrete houses in both the regions of J&K under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) for the tribal community who has to migrate with their cattle after every six months.
He briefed the Lt Governor that in 2016, the Government of Jammu and Kashmir initiated the process of providing 100 primary mobile schools.
“It was proposed to finalize the setup location for 65 schools in the Jammu division and 35 schools in Kashmir division. However, schools could not be established. This delay has consequently caused huge educational deprivation to the tribal children who are not in the compliance of Right to Children Education Act 2014,” Choudhary said.
He sought intervention of the Lt Governor because many nomads remained without Below Poverty Line (BPL) ration cards consequently depriving them of getting the ration under the BPL schemes, road connectivity, electricity supplies and clean drinking water in the areas wherever these nomads live in J&K.
He further informed the Lt Governor that most of the Schedule Tribe students have also been deprived of books and uniform due to delay in the scholarship disbursement.
