SRINAGAR, Mar 22: Rakesh Handu, Spokesperson JDU (JKUT) has proposed a comprehensive and visionary rehabilitation plan for the exiled Kashmiri Pandit community and other minorities through the establishment of a massive, self-sustaining township centered in the historic town of Mattan.
In a memorandum addressed to the Prime Minister of India and the Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir, Handu emphasized that Mattan, historically known for its world-famous Sun Temple and its status as a pinnacle of communal harmony, offers the ideal geographical and cultural landscape for a large-scale return of the displaced population.
The proposal envisions a modern township with the capacity to house between two to three lakh people, strategically extending from the limits of Hutmara on the Pahalgam road to the areas of Akura and Nambal, and further reaching towards the Qazigund axis.
