He further said that out of 36,884 only 2000 PoK DPs families have got the said relief amount till now. “If the pace of disbursing relief amount among PoK DPs moves-on in such speed, it will take nearly 18 more years to complete the task it”, he added.
“Allocation of ex-gratia relief amount among PoK DPs has become chaotic due to ill- planning and execution as it seems being taken up deliberately because at every point PoK DPs are being harassed. PoK DPs seem to have become helpless as they are not getting certified copies of documents to stake claim of their legal relief due to this, their case files are not getting cleared for the approval. Due to this, PoK DPs are again put in trauma and it is all happening due to step motherly approach of Government, ” he added.
