The CPI (M) senior leader and four time MLA Kulgam_said in the recent days J&K administration airlifted some stranded students to Kashmir, but unfortunately some labourers, have been stopped in Kathua and they are struck there for the past three days. Authorities must ensure their safe return to their home districts.
The veteran leader said that there are also large number of outside laborers who are stranded either in Jammu or Kashmir. The Government must ensure that they are sent back to their respective states at the earliest. Even Kashmiris stranded in Jammu which is part of the same UT have not been brought back by the administration so far. Without undermining the efforts to combat COVID-19, all the steps should be taken to facilitate the return of all these stranded persons, he added.
