| SOS International demands continuation of assistance for PoJK DPs | | |  Early Times Report
JAMMU, Oct 17: SOS International- an organization of PoJK Displaced Persons, has expressed its serious concern over insensitive attitude of the Government towards the grievances and issues of the displaced community and said that contrary to their hope of getting justice after abrogation of Article 370, the situation has turned from bad to worse.
Addressing a press conference on Sunday, Chairman of SOS International, Rajiv Chuni accompanied by Prof. N. N. Sharma, V. K. Datta, Jagjit Singh, Ved Raj Bali, Daleep Singh Chib, Satinder Dev Gupta & Dharamvir Gupta drew attention towards the "PM Central Assistant Scheme for PoJK DPs" which was not fully implemented and then suddenly stopped without assigning any reason thus depriving hundreds of displaced families from getting the cash assistance.
"Due to unnecessary conditions and the tiresome process required in filing the case by PoJK DPs for getting cash assistance under the scheme, a large number of the Displaced families had to run from pillar to post in completing the formalities, which delayed their cases and in the meanwhile, Government suddenly stopped the scheme without covering all the targeted beneficiaries," he explained.
Raising a question mark on intentions of the Government, the SOS International chief alleged that the officers at the helm of affairs were more interested to delay the cases on one pretext or the other and thus the scheme could not be fully implemented at the ground level.
"Several cases of PoJK DPs which have been dully passed or were in the process, are lying in the PRO Office Jammu, the Divisional Commissioner Office Jammu and the Home Ministry office in New Delhi as the Government has suddenly stopped the scheme without covering all the targeted beneficiaries," he said.
Urging the Central Government to continue the scheme and cover all the left out families of PoJK DPs in a time bound manner, Rajiv Chuni also demanded that un-necessary conditions attached to the required formalities for filing the case should be removed at the earliest for smooth implementation of the "PM Central Assistant Scheme for PoJK DPs".
He also demanded that those DPs, registered outside Jammu Kashmir and having their record of PoJK origin should be allowed to file their claims without asking them to produce State Subject Certificate (PRC) which has been scrapped due to abrogation of Article 370 & 35A on August 5, 2019. These DPs should simply be asked to produce their record of DPs from PoJK, JKUT Domicile and Legal Heir Certificate, he said and added those DPs who have original record with them but such record is missing in the office of PRO Jammu, should also be allowed to file their claims of cash assistance on the basis of that original record.
"Further, there are DPs who were allotted lands at different places in J&K under Section 3 and even mutation was allowed in their favour, DPs who were issued Form "A" (Alf Form) but the same was not authenticated by the authorities at that time due to unknown reasons even as their Unauthenticated Form "A" record is available with PRO Jammu, the DPs who reached this side without their children who were killed during Pakistan's raid on their ancestral homes and adopted some other children without proper legal formalities but have got the allotted lands / plots / quarters mutated in favour of their adopted kin, the DPs who were allotted lands under 254-C, Section-3A but unfortunately there's no record available with PRO Jammu and those who displaced from extreme Border between PoJK and J&K and are technically called Border Displaced Persons (Border DPs) should also be allowed to file their claims of cash assistance as all these categories of the Displaced people faced the same hardships which other PoJK DPs faced," said Rajiv Chuni.
The SOS International Chairman also reiterated the demand for implementation of the Rehabilitation Package for PoJK DPs passed by the J&K Government Cabinet in October, 2014 and later on endorsed by the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Home Affairs in its 183rd Report submitted in both Houses of the Parliament on 22-Deember-2014, which has also recommended de-freezing of eight PoJK Assembly constituencies and nomination of DPs for the same. |
