The centre and J&K UT government is determined to rehabilitate the Kashmiri Pandits back in the valley but the ground situation is still not condusive for the return and rehabilitation of the Kashmiri Pandits. Therefore no step should be taken by the rulers in haste for which we will have to repent as the selective and targeted killings continue to take place in the Kashmir valley and all the tall claims of the government have been exposed. Thus, the return and rehabilitation should not done without proper planning and well thought but instead the government should think eleven times before embarking upon the plan of the return and rehabilitation of the Kashmiri pandits. Since the situation in Kashmir valley is not secure for the return and rehabilitation of the Kashmiri pandits as the killings of the soft targets and the selective killings of the minorities are unfortunately taking place despite the tall claims of the normalcy in Kashmir and so the Kashmiri pandits should not be forced to return to the Kashmiri against their wishes. The government is working to rehabilitate the Kashmiri pandits and as a first step the K.P youth are given jobs and are adjusted in the length and breadth of Kashmir but they are performing their duties under risk and threat to their lives as the conditions in the valley resemble the hay days of the militancy of 1990. As such the Kashmiri pandit employees especially those who are living in the rented accommodation have returned to Jammu to save their life as the threat perception to their life and limb is there as the minority pandits and other minorities are the soft target of the militants and they are killed with sadistic pleasure by the terrorists. The plight of the PM Package employees is very grim and sad as they have to perform their duties under stress and strain and under the threat to their lives as day in and day out they are made the targets of the mayhem by the enemies of the humanity.
Thus these unfortunate employees are performing their duties under the threat to their lives especially after the targeted killings of the Pandits and the migrant PM Package employees and so these employees should not be forced to join back their duties because the ground situation in the valley is not feasible for their return due to the targeted killings of the minorities. Those migrant employees who were given accommodation in the camps feel some security but after all they too have to perform their duties in the far off places and so they too are subject to risk to their lives but the threat perception to them is less.
However those who are living in the rented accommodation and have no security are exposed to the threat to their lives and they as such are performing their duties under threat and tension because of the threat perception. The majority of such PM Package migrant employees have fled the valley post targeted killings of the minorities. The insecurity and threat to their life and limb is very great and as such the majority of such employees have returned to Jammu for the safety to their lives. Since they have to do their duties under duress, threat and under very hostile conditions and so have they left the valley and returned to Jammu. It is the duty of the government to make conducive atmosphere for their return and for their safe and sound living and working in the valley.
Thus until the ground conditions in the valley are not made normal for their return and for the performance of their jobs they should be allowed to work on line from Jammu and not forced to return to the valley and resume duties there.
Therefore unless and until the normalcy returns the valley these unfortunate PM Package employees should not be forced to resume their duties in the nook and corner of the valley but allowed to work from Jammu for the time being.
The best course is that the migrant PM Package employees should be given the option of working from Jammu till the normalcy returns to the valley as in Kashmir they are subject to risk and threat to their lives since after the targeted killings of the minorities and PM Package employee.
Therefore the best course is that these employees should not be forced to resume back their duties in the valley till the situation is made normal and till then they should be allowed to work from Jammu. Since these unfortunate sons of the soil are working under the threat to their precious lives in Kashmir as they are the soft targets for militants and as such they have left the valley and have taken refuge in Jammu temporarily. The protection of life, limb and dignity of the people is the duty of the government and so the government is duty bound to protect the life and limb of the people and more so of the migrant PM Package employees and thus the government should provide fool proof security to the migrant employees working in the valley to perform their duties but the government fails in its duty to provide the security as it is not possible for the rulers to provide the security to its employees and so the only thing is that the normalcy is returned to the valley and an atmosphere of security and peace prevails in Kashmir so that all will feel safe and secure.
But till now there is no normalcy and security in the valley as the selective and targeted killings continue to take place in the valley and shake the confidence of the minorities and the PM Package employees. Thus for the safety of their lives they have fled the valley and have taken refuge in Jammu. So these employees should not be forced to resume their duties in the valley as the situation in the valley is not conducive for their return rehabilitation and for performance of their jobs and allotted works in Kashmir. Therefore there is great need to create an atmosphere of peace, security and normalcy in Kashmir so that the migrant employees will feel safe and secure in valley and will voluntarily work in Kashmir. The need of the hour is that the rulers should sincerely make efforts for the normalcy, peace and security so that all minorities especially the PM package employees should feel secure and safe in valley and work their voluntarily without any fear and threat to their life and dignity.
