The memorandum also highlighted the problems being faced by the Relief Holders and the PM Package employees posted in Kashmir.
They said that no enhancement in monthly relief has been made to Kashmiri migrants since 2017 which is a great injustice as the meager amount of Rs 13000 @ Rs 3250 per head is not sufficient for livelihood during the present times when the prices are sky rocketing. Though the data for the Distress Sale has been collected but it has not been implemented principally, they said.
The PM package employees who have gone under difficult circumstances to serve in the Valley have not been provided suitable accommodation as most of them are living on sharing basis or rented accommodation
The memorandum appealed for enhancement of monthly relief to the tune of Rs 25,000 so that the relief holders can honorably live. It also demanded providing of proper accommodation to the PM package employees so that they can comfortably live with their family members.
