Early Times Report
JAMMU, Dec 16: A delegation of Kashmiri Pandits, led by M.K. Yogi, met with Relief & Rehabilitation Commissioner K.K. Sidha today in Jammu, bringing to the forefront the pressing issues faced by the community in their three-decade-long exile. The leaders underscored various challenges, ranging from rising unemployment among educated KP migrant youth to the need for increased residential quarters in Jammu due to population growth.
During the meeting, KP leaders M.K. Yogi, Vinod Pandita, Ashwani Bhat, and Vishal Jotshi presented a comprehensive overview of the genuine problems confronting the community. The key points highlighted included the urgent need for enhanced monthly cash assistance, resolution of issues related to PM packages employees, and improvements in infrastructure in migrant camps such as Jagti township.
The leaders specifically called for the macadamization of main roads and lanes in Jagti, the upgrading of the Jagti Playground with adequate infrastructure for outdoor games, and the formulation of a time-bound return and rehabilitation policy for migrants in the valley. Additionally, they emphasized the importance of implementing the Immovable Migrant Property Act, 1997, in its true spirit in the valley.
M.K. Yogi appealed to Relief & Rehabilitation Commissioner K.K. Sidha to champion the cause of the Kashmiri Pandit community by taking these concerns to the government for early resolution. The commissioner, in turn, assured the delegation of a patient hearing and committed to raising these issues with the relevant authorities promptly.
Relief & Rehabilitation Commissioner K.K. Sidha updated the delegation on the government's forthcoming initiatives, including the digitalization of the entire Relief and Rehabilitation Department. This move is expected to streamline processes, saving time for the community in addressing their concerns while ensuring greater transparency.
The commissioner also expressed the government's commitment to taking further significant steps for the welfare and upliftment of the Kashmiri Pandit community, earning commendation from the leaders present at the meeting. The delegation, including T.K. Koul, Shuban Ji Raina, Rajesh Labroo, Balkrishan Bhat, and others, appreciated the department's efforts in reaching out to migrants outside Jammu and Kashmir, resolving their genuine problems promptly and at their doorstep.
