JAMMU, Oct 24: Amid facing tremendous financial hardship since April 2024, after the monetary support was stopped to migrants, the Kashmiri Samiti Delhi (KSD) today demanded immediate Release of Monetary Support to 1522 Internally Displaced “Migrant” families of Delhi NCR.
The demand was raised by Sumeer Chrungoo, President, KSD in a meeting held here today.
Chrungoo said, “We, the Kashmiri Pandit community, express our deep dismay over the continued neglect from both the central and UT governments of Delhi and J&K regarding our ongoing suffering. Despite standing steadfastly with our nation through countless challenges including relentless violence, forced exodus and the loss of our cultural heritage, we find ourselves overlooked and forgotten.”
“We are pained to bring this fact to public notice that the 1522 families which are remnants of 23000 hapless families who had taken refuge in Delhi NCR due to ethnic cleansing and genocide of our community at the hands of Islamic Jihadis and terrorists in Kashmir valley, are facing an immediate survival threat,” he said.
“This monetary support is not merely a stipend; it is a lifeline that many in our community rely on for survival. In the absence of a comprehensive rehabilitation and resettlement policy, our community continues to bear the weight of a systematic genocide that has torn apart our lives,” he added.
He demanded immediate restoration and increase of monetary support for 1522 families, so that their life is saved.
