JAMMU, Feb 19: Panun Kashmir has expressed concern over the transfer of the Principals from the migrant Higher Secondary Schools to far flung militancy infested areas of the State leaving the administration and students of the displaced Kashmiri Pandit community in the lurch. It has generated a sense of panic and uncertainty in the community over the education and future of the students in refugee camps. Keeping in view the urgency of the issue and its impact on the future of the students of the Community, Dr.Ajay Chrungoo, Chairman, PK, said, “the transfer of principals of the migrant Higher Secondary schools operating in Jammu have been the only source of education to the wards of the economically and socially devastated K P community since the religious cleansing took place in 1990.This is an act of destabilization that will shatter the already fragile schooling system for the displaced Pandits. P K appeals to the administration to take cognizance of the ground situation and keep the future of the displaced students in view while taking decisions of transferring the principals when there is no need for it. These principals are being sent to the schools which have vacant posts for the principals. Instead of destablising the camp schools by transferring the principals administration should follow the proper procedure without damaging the educational structure of the camp schools, he added.
Dr.Agnishekher, Convener, P K, said, “administration is indulging in unnecessary act of transferring the principals of the camp Higher Secondary Schools without evaluating their service records. They have already served in the areas of the State where no one was willing to be posted and the terrain was inaccessible. This is an inhuman act meant to give a blow to the education system of the community so that a State of desperation and despondency is generated to set the community into the mode of psychosis and students are made to suffer for the professional guidance.
ASKPC President R K Raina flayed the Government order and stated that the Government has turned a blind eye to the stark reality that Kashmiri Pandit families are already in deep diaspora and by transferring the head of the family to the remote areas of the State will undeniably further the miseries and lose the grip of the family head over his family which is sheer human rights violation. The Pandit leadership emphatically demanded that the principals of these institutions should not be transferred as it is against the interests of the community in the present state of turmoil and the orders should be immediately revoked.
