The members of displaced families under the leadership of  Rachhpal Singh Chib assembled near Press Club and started rally.  They  demanded that process of distribution of Rs 2000 crore package announced by Prime Minister be started without any more delay. They claimed that this amount can not be treated as full and final package and moreover, many other components of the package even recommended by the Joint Parliamentary Committee have been ignored. They welcomed the step of the State Government to clear the Financial package during recently budget on May 30. They termed the event as occasion of celebrations.
The displaced persons including women activists under the banner of  Jammu and Kashmir PoJK DPs Front-1947, 65 & 71 held their programme as part of awareness rally. They also held protest against the PRO for his allegedly negative role  in previous package and ignoring many deserving families. They alleged that there are no facilities like sitting arrangements, drinking water fans, toilet for men and women or a waiting hall for the visitors (DPs).
They were carrying banners and placards in their hands, depicting their demands. After holding protest demonstration there for some time, they dispersed.
The agitating DPs lauded Modi for announcing Rs 2000 crore financial package but claimed that  it was incomplete  as other issues with regard to political, social, education and reservation etc for their wards were set aside and not included in the package. There is no clarity in PM’s package and all type of displaced persons were still confused over it. They also alleged that this disbursement of amount is going to be another big fraud with the DPs. They also demanded that all the components.
