JAMMU, Dec 2: Shiv Sena J&K unit has hailed the Governor, Satya Pal Malik for taking cognizance of the people’s problem in getting Permanent Resident Certificate (PRC) and issued directions to the authorities to simplify the procedure.
In a press conference here on Sunday, Dimpy Kohli, State President Shiv Sena Bala Sahib Thackeray along with Rakesh Kak, Ashwani Gupta, Vipin Hindu, Raj Singh and Sanjeev said the people of J&K are facing many problems in getting PRC due to long list of documents, which they fail to collect and most of them abandon the process midway.
Kohli said earlier, the documents required were as simple as producing a state subject of father or a land holding record to be submitted at the District Magistrate office, which acted as the basis of issuing a PRC to the aspirant.
“But after the implementation of new rules, more than one dozen documents are to be attached, most of which are either impossible to acquire from different departments or have been perished in Government records,” he added.
“During the regime of former Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah, the Government had set a timeframe of one month for issuing PRC to an aspirant but nothing like that happened on ground,” Kohli told reporters.
He also said that making a PRC has become an uphill task in J&K and numerous complaints regarding undue harassment being meted out to the genuine applicants in getting it have been noticed.
He alleged rampant corruption in Deputy Commissioner’s office for getting the PRC and appealed to the Governor to give directions to his Advisor in this regard.
