JAMMU, Dec 19: The Jammu Kashmir Sharnarthi Action Committee (JKSAC) has said that Government should clarify the quantum of relief to be paid to each family and remove doubt among the displaced persons.
A meeting of the refugee families was held at Gobindpura, Simbal Camp on Sunday, where all the DP’ of adjoining Basti’s participated and discussed various important and pressing issues pertaining to the disbursement of instant package of Rs 2000 crore for DP’s of 1947 from POK and other categories. The DPs in the meeting raised their doubts and criticized the Govt for not clarifying the quantum of relief to be paid by Govt and also difficulties they are facing while obtaining the certified copies of requisite documents from the PRO office, Jammu.
Addressing the meeting Gurdev Singh, president assured the participants that JKSAC is committed and struggling hard for the resolution of one time settlement and other demands raised by participants concerning the package. He said that there is an imperative need to strive hard upon the Coalition Govt to decide and announce the quantum of relief to be paid to DP’s for their left over properties in PoK along with other components, when the JPC constituted by Govt itself has very clearly submitted its recommendation to the Govt.
He cautioned the DP’s that until and unless they will not strive hard and show their strength, they shall not be able to achieve the target of Rs 30 lakh and other components recommended by JPC. Accusing the State Govt of ignoring their long pending legitimate issue he warned that the DP’s will launch an agitation if their issues are not addressed properly within next three months.
He appealed to DP’s that the final notification has not yet issued by the Govt and they should not fill up any kind of form at the behest of vested interests who are hell bent to exploit their innocence for their personal motives instead they should obtain the copies of requisite documents from PRO office. He cautioned the DP’s not to fall in the trap.
The prominent who spoke in the meeting included Niraml Singh Kranti, Harbans Singh, Darshan Singh, Ajaib Singh and Tarlok Singh.
