JAMMU, May 20: Senior K P leader, M K Yogi and social activist Vinod Pandita expressed hope that in a given time period some tangible output of migrant land grievances will surely emerge after the LG administration issued directives to Revenue Department to collect data regarding the same from migrants by holding camps at Relief and Rehabilitation Organisation, Jammu.
In a joint statement issued here, today they said for the first time in last 37 years of turmoil since 1990 some positive steps were taken by the Government for restoration of migrants immovable property, land and land of their religious places which is under forcible occupation in the Valley or has been grabbed by some vested elements after organising camps at Relief and Rehabilitation Commissioner’s Office Jammu in which the revenue officers from entre Valley participated to hear the grievances of the migrants regarding encroachment of their property.
The KP leaders expressed gratitude to Lt Governor, Chief Secretary, Relief and Rehabilitation Commissioner besides deputy commissioners and revenue officers of the Valley in taking keen interest in redressal of the grievances of displaced people for first time after 36 years.
They said after the forceful migration of lakhs of displaced Kashmiri Pandits from Valley in 1990, most of their immovable properties which include their ancestral land, land of temples and shrines, houses were either illegally occupied or gutted down by anti social elements under a well thought out machinations, thus caused irreparable loss to the displaced community. Despite being the Immovable Migrant Property Act 1997 in place, its implementation in letter and spirit remained always a dream and as result of which the displaced people used to run from pillar to post in different revenue offices in Kashmir in these 37 years for want of disposal of their grievances and retrieval and restoration of their ancestral land but all in vain, they added.
