| Fate of 3000 educated KP youth hanging in balance | | Kashmir violence aftereffects | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Aug 26: Fate of about 3,000 educated youth belonging to displaced Kashmiri Pandit community continues to hang in the balance following state government's inability to issue requisite posting orders to them.
Official sources said that government completed selection process of around 2,000 youth within shortest possible time. These youth were to be posted in Kashmir under the Prime Minister's employment package for the Kashmiri migrants.
Sources said that the list of the selected candidates is ready since the last two months but the appointment orders have been kept in abeyance due to turmoil and violence in Kashmir valley since June 11. Sources disclosed that state government had planned to issue appointment orders to migrant youths in phases but apart from current spell of violence, fresh threats which have been issued to Sikhs living in the valley has made it extremely difficult for the government to issue posting orders to migrant youths.
“We are waiting for situation to improve for issuing the appointment orders,” government sources said. Under Prime Minister's employment package for displaced Kashmiri Pandit community, 6,000 jobs were to be provided to migrant youth which included 3,000 under the state sector and remaining 3,000 in the central sector. Since the state government was faced with paucity of resources, it initiated measures to fill 3,000 posts for which the central Government has to bear the expenses.
Minister for Revenue Raman Bhalla who has been taking keen interest in the welfare and rehabilitation of displaced families from Kashmir, had written a letter to central government requesting that it should meet expenses for another 3,000 jobs as the state government had no resources for paying wages to the employees.
Bhalla had instructed departmental heads and secretaries that those appointed under the Prime Minister's employment package be posted at the district and tehsil headquarters. Instructions had gone to the departmental heads in Kashmir that the migrant youths should not be posted in villages and far-flung areas of the valley.
Official sources confirmed that Bhalla's efforts are yet to bear fruits because of the fluid security scenario in Kashmir valley. When asked whether those selected could be posted in Jammu region on a temporary basis and sent back to Kashmir after the situation improves, government sources said that it is not possible because under Prime Minister's package, selected youths were supposed to serve only in the Kashmir valley.
They said that we are still hopeful of a major breakthrough as the government has decided to deal firmly with those indulging in violence and stone-pelting." Indications are that large-scale arrests of youths would be made to deprive separatists manpower they have for inciting people to violence.
