JAMMU, May 23: A deputation under the leadership of Pt Ashok Kumar Khajuria, State convenor BJP Sharnarthi Cell, called on Divisional Commissioner, Jammu, here today and highlighted various problems being faced by the PoJK displaced persons in processing their cases of relief as sanctioned by the Government of India.
Pt Ashok Khajuria demanded that the adopted persons of the displaced families be considered as the legal heir and such be made eligible for the relief being given to the displaced families. He also raised the issue of those cases against which some objections have been noted and asked for speedy disposal of such cases. He told the Divisional Commissioner that cases against which the objections are raised be publicized through media. He also raised the issue where original head of the family has expired and there are more than one person who are eligible for the benefit but they have not good understanding among themselves. He requested that in such cases provision of partial payment to the heirs be adopted. The BJP leader also said that uniform procedure be adopted in case of the required documents. He said that in some cases the concern authorities accept merely the affidavit where as in some other cases the concerned persons are being asked to submit the due attorney documents. He also brought into notice of the Divisional Commissioner the difficulty being faced by rural displaced persons in getting the case of mutation processed. Alleging that concerned authorities asked for undue payment for getting the mutation processed, he appealed that concern DCs be directed to look into the matter and take stern action against such officers.
Pt Ashok Khajuria also requested the Divisional Commissioner for the deployment of more but efficient staff for the speedy displosal of the cases of displaced persons.
Other who accompanied the deputation, included Surjeet Singh, Suresh Sharma, Vikas Sharma, Bharat Bhushan, Rohit Khajuria and Vijay Sharma (Sarpanch).
