| MJR47 opposes proposed toy train to Suchetgarh | | | 
EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, Feb 3: Movement for Justice for Refugees of 1947 (MJR47) while vehemently opposing the proposed toy train between Bikram Chowk and Suchetgarh said that it will again uproot the thousands of refugees of 1947 who have made settlements on the erstwhile rail line connecting Jammu with Sialkot.
MJR47 said that to our utter dismay, Advisor to Lt Governor the other day announced to revive the pre- partition Rail Line from Bikram Chowk to RS Pura-Suchetgarh for mini-train as heritage for tourism purpose. Irony is that the Advisor may not have been apprised of the ground facts that DPs of 1947 were made to settle on this abandoned track where DPs in 3rd & 4th generation continue to live since 1950.
After over more than seven decades DPs have built pacca houses on the plots they were made to live in tents and thatched huts. In case the plan is executed on the same line as announced, all the DPs will again become refugees in their own state. MJR47 requested the government to reconsider the plan and give it a route without any displacement so that DPs who are awaiting settlement for last 74 years may not become refugees again. |
