He demanded Government 20,000 job package for displaced youth with 5000 class IV posts for those migrant youth who could not continue their education due to poverty and pangs of migration.
He also appealed the Government to announce on spot recruitment drive in police and other para military forces for migrant youth in camps and non camp areas, construction of three townships in districts of Srinagar, Anantnag and Baramulla for rehabilitation of Displaced Pandita in Valley and adequate compensation for losses suffered for the left out properties with compensation to educated unemployed youth.
