No shelter, no food, no tickets for us to reach home, say fleeing labourers
‘J&K Govt has failed to make any arrangements for us’

Early Times Report

Jammu, Oct 23: Non-local labourers returning from Kashmir and reaching Jammu are facing immense hardships as the government has failed to provide them any facilities.
The non-locals started migrating from the Valley after militants shot dead eleven people, including five non-locals in different attacks across Kashmir. “Despite the government being aware of us fleeing Kashmir nothing has been done for us. There is no shelter, no food, no train tickets. We have been left to fend on our own,” the labourers said.
They said that they were chased out of Kashmir and the government instead of facilitating their return is just acting as a mute spectator.
“We were doing menial jobs for sustenance but the gun wielding ultras snatched our livelihood. We have been left jobless and to fend on our own. We were forced to leave Kashmir. But after reaching Jammu we have not been even provided two square meals. We are struggling. Many of us don’t have money. We left our wages in Kashmir and fled away,” the labourers said. “We were told that we should leave Kashmir to save our lives,” they said, adding, “The least the government can do is that it can send us to our native villages,” they added.
