JAMMU, Feb 13: To defend the serious issues of the displaced community, All India Kashmiri Samaj (AIKS) held an extraordinary meeting, under the chairmanship of Col. (retd) Tej Tikoo , to deliberate upon the acceptable request of the organisation to consolidate the position of properties left in Valley due to mass exodus of 1989-90.
The pensive debate was initiated by the general secretary, M K Pajan, vice president, Vijay Kashkari and treasurer, Sanjay Sapru.
In view of this stalemate, AIKS has issued an appeal to the community to forward details of distress sale, encroachment, illegal occupation of immovable properties belonging to individuals, groups and institutions. The specifics can be filed online, for which the AIKS Website, http://www.aiks.org needs to be visited.
The objective is to keep the details ready for future use at various foras. The members demanded that the State Government should be urged to compile the records as per the law promulgated and communicate steps taken under Section 4 of J&K Migrants Immovable Property (Preservation, Protection & restrain on Distress Sale) Act 1997.
AIKS further called upon the Central Government to post National Relief Commissioner for Kashmiri migrants, at least of the rank of Joint Secretary to the Government of India as the State Government has failed to address the aspirations of the displaced Kashmiris and defaulted to take appropriate action against illegal occupants.
