Addressing the dharna of JTC and SKF activists at Jagti township which entered 291th day today, Pandita said that for the return of Kashmiri Pandits to Valley an employment package should be announced for the unemployed youth of community and also Government Jobs should be given to those families where no educated youth has got a job till date.
