JAMMU, Nov 4: The displaced persons from Pak occupied Jammu and Kashmir today held demonstration, demanding disbursement of relief amount announced by the Prime Minister without any further delay.
Demanding justice for all type of displaced persons from PoJK and other categories, the activists of Jammu and Kashmir PoJK DPs Front 1947, 1965, 1971 organised a rally- cum- awareness programme at Exhibition Ground near Press Club, here today.
The members of displaced families under the leadership of Capt Yudvir Singh Chib assembled near Press Club and started protest demonstration. They demanded that process of distribution of Rs 2000 crore package announced by Prime Minister be started without any more delay. They claimed that this amount cannot be treated as full and final package and moreover, many other components of the package even recommended by the Joint Parliamentary Committee have been ignored.
The displaced persons including women activists under the banner of Jammu and Kashmir PoJK DPs Front-1947, 65 & 71 strongly demanded that Govt should provide them justice. They were also protesting against the PRO for his allegedly shady role in previous package during 2000 and ignoring many deserving families. They were carrying banners and placards in their hands, depicting their demands. They said there was no clarity in PM’s package and all type of displaced persons were still confused. They also demanded enhancement in package announced.
Mr Chib addressing the gathering said State Govt issued notification on March 20, 2016 through DC Jammu, inviting documents to be submitted along with application form for all categories of DPs for claims. The PRO and DC have been appointed as designated authorities for this purpose. It is strange that even after several months no additional staff has been deployed to verify the documents of the DPs at the designated offices. He demanded inclusion of left out families, ownership rights to DPs of 1947, issuance of ALC certificate to DPs and reservation to their wards.
Jai Pal Sharma, R S Chib, Sakandya Devi and Kulbir Singh Chib also spoke on the occasion.
