JAMMU, Apr 28,: All Parties Migrants Coordination Committee (APMCC) will soon submit a detailed report on the living conditions of migrant employees posted in Kashmir valley to the Government and seek immediate redressal of their grievances.
This was disclosed by King C Bharati, national spokesperson APMCC in a statement issued here, today.
Bharati informed that APMCC recently held a meeting to discuss the worsening condition of the living standards of Pandit employees posted in Valley due to the lackluster attitude and apathy of the local district administrations who have been flouting the direct orders of the Divisional Commissioner Kashmir with impunity.
Vinod Pandit visited various employee colonies on Thursday which include, Vessu (Kulgam), Mattan (Anantnag) Hall (Pulwama), Veervan (Baramulla) and Nutnusa (Kupwara) and talked to the residents there besides taking stock of the infrastructure available there, Bharati said.
According to Arun Kandroo, general secretary of APMCC, the conditions in various colonies are miserable particularly the Pandit colonies in Veervan and Nutnusa where water crisis has gripped the colonies in such a way that employees have to fetch water from miles away in forest for drinking purposes.
Vinod Pandit said that the residents of the border districts of Kupwara and Bramulla colonies were the worst hit and expressed shock that the residential quarters which were burnt by the frenzied mob in July 2016 agitation have still not been repaired.
Pandit said that the quarters at these colonies were crumbling and water crisis has put the life and honour of the women folk of these twin colonies to danger as they have to go to deep forests to fetch drinking water.
He also found the sharing accommodation a big issue and demanded a time frame within which new quarters will be constructed and allotted to employees to live with dignity.
Security concerns of Nutnusa colony was another serious issue found during the visit which was first of its kind by any KashmiriPandit leader who visited all the colonies in a single tour.
