Authorities lack seriousness to address issues of migrants: Raina

Excelsior Correspondent

JAMMU, Sept 4: Over six months have passed since LG Manoj Sinha inaugurated Special Governance Camp for Kashmiri Migrants at Jagti Colony in February 2023, yet there is no movement forward in this regard.
This was claimed by former MLC and BJP spokesperson G.L Raina.
He said that 12 day camp at 6 locations was aimed to ensure 100 per cent saturation of social security schemes for Kashmiri migrants.
“Various departments had put their stalls at the camp including the facilities for enrolment of youth for self-employment, skilling and up-skilling,” Raina maintained adding: “Thousands of displaced youth visited these camps and registered themselves under different schemes for self-employment, skilling and up-skilling.”
He also said that there were a large number of other persons particularly differently-abled individuals who submitted for extension of social security/welfare schemes to them for which they were eligible.
“Unfortunately no action seems to have been taken after conclusion of these camps. Situation even after six months is where it was before,” Raina claimed in a handout.
He expressed anguish over lack of seriousness in the administration to address issues pertaining to the Displaced Community.
