Srinagar, Jan 29: Hindu Welfare Society has appealed to the Government to grant rehabilitation under Prime Minister’s Rehabilitation Package to displace pandits who migrated from within the Valley in 1990.
Chuni Lal Bhat, Publicity Secretary of HWS, said that 51 pandit families have been living in Srinagar as tenants from the last two decades after emigrating from villages for safety.
Bhat said they have been appealing to the Government to grant the Quarters and other benefits under PM’s relief package which was sanction in 2008.
“We have been cleared by the concerned Government agencies, including police, Divisional Commissioner’s office for the grant and accommodation. But, the Relief Commissioner’s office is not clearing our cases, and thus putting us into penury and misery,” claimed Bhat.
He said the society appeals the Chief Minister to look into the matter to mitigate their problems faced by them.
