JAMMU, Jan 30: Minister for Disaster Management, Relief, Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Javed Mustafa Mir today said that the Relief Organization is digitizing the records of relief beneficiaries, including Kashmiri Pandits on the basis of Aadhaar.
Replying to a question of BJP member, Girdhari Lal Raina in the Upper House today, the Minister said the Relief Organization (Migrants) switched over to make the payment of monthly relief to the Kashmiri migrants through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT).
“This switching over to DBT has enforced transparency in the Organization,” he added.
The Minister further said the Government would consider the option of providing online services including issuance of PRC, RBA certificate, migration certificate and addressing the grievances of the migrants especially Kashmiri Pandits residing in different parts of the country and even outside.
Responding to the supplementary questions of Raina and Surinder Mohan Ambardar, the Minister assured on the floor of the House that he would try his best to provide on line facilities to the Kashmiri migrants putting up in 17 other states. He also said that with Aadhaar seeding, many fake registrations are likely to be detected and Government money will also be saved with this exercise.
