Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, Apr 26: All Migrant Camp Coordination Committee (AMCCC), Jagti Welfare Committee and relief holders have expressed grave concern over delaying tactics of Government in releasing the supply of ration to migrants who have been deprived of the same for last three months.
In their separate statements AMCCC president Desh Rattan, JWC representative Vijay Kaul and Sunil Pandita of relief holders have alleged that despite the announcement by the Government that the ration will be released to migrants as per old scale the CAPD has failed to supply the same to ration depots in camps and other migrant bastis in non camp areas.
They said that migrants are facing hardships as they are without the ration for last three months and some families totally dependent on cash doles from the Government are unable to purchase the same from market in such hard days.
The AMCCC leaders who met various officers in Civil Secretariat were told by the authorities that they have not been provided funds from Relief Organization for the ration till date and hence the supply will be delayed for some more time.
Expressing serious concern the migrants criticized the attitude of the Government and alleged that this way the community feels totally betrayed.
Meanwhile JWC has accused the authorities for not providing fans to various quarters in Jagti and the inmates of these quarters were facing hardships as the temperature is increasing day by day. They said that despite repeated pleas the authorities were adopting delaying tactics. In an appeal to Relief Commissioner the JWC members demanded immediate issuance of fans to left over quarters.
