SRINAGAR July 12:Amid unrest in Kashmir Valley BJP MLC Surinder Ambardar today visited Hall Transit camp in Pulwama district of Kashmir which was attacked by protesting mobs after the killing of Hizbul Mujahideen terrorist Burhan Wani on Friday
MLC while issuing a statement after meeting the residents of the camp mentioned that after the news of the terrorist Burhan Wani’s death spread on Friday evening the protesting mobs from the nearby villages gathered around the transit camp where close to three hundred Kashmiri Pandit employees reside who have gone back to Kashmir Valley for employment and resorted to heavy stone pelting resulting in creating panic and fear psychosis in the inmates which included children and several pregnant women and moreover, there was complete failure of the State and local administration as no official from the administration came to meet them or took any concrete step for close to 48 hours adding to the agony of the displaced KP employees
MLC also stated that when the news of attack on the Hall and other transit camps situated in South Kashmir spread he immediately rushed to Srinagar to visit the transit camps particularly the Hall which witnessed the maximum brunt of the protesting crowd however to his grave surprise he was initially not allowed to visit any camp where KP displaced Pandit employees are residing and it was only after the intervention of Dr Jitendra Singh MoS in PMO and Ashok Koul general secretary BJP (Org) that he was allowed to visit transit camp Pulwama in order to meet the residing employees whose cars and pre-fabricated structure in which they live have been damaged due to heavy stone pelting for two days without any help from the local administration
There are still no basic amenities being restored at the camp as there is no ration available, there is no water supply ,erratic power supply ,no ATMs and the DC Pulwama despite being informed about the same has done no activity which he said will be taking up with the authorities.
BJP legislator also stated that some similar reports have come from Mattan and Vessu Transit camps as well where Kashmiri Pandit employees are residing and he will try to visit there as well to meet the employees and try to restore some confidence in them as their confidence has completely been shattered.
