Srinagar June 19: The J&K State Committee of CPI (M) has described the Centre’s flood rehabilitation and reconstruction package grossly inadequate and squarely against the expectations of the affected people of Jammu and Kashmir.
It is in utter disregard of the previous Government’s memorandum to GoI regarding grant of Rs 44000 crore as rehabilitation package. It is also nowhere near the tall promises of the PDP-BJP coalition Government, said a handout, issued by CPI (M).
The comprehensive rehabilitation package should have included reconstructing of the damaged infrastructure, rehabilitation of those who lost their residential houses, compensation to farmers and orchardists whose crops were destroyed and land eroded; support to business community and those engaged in tourist trade, compensation to Gujjar-Bakarwal and shepherd communities, whose livestock perished in the floods and torrential rains, the handout said.
