This decision also ensures that these families receive the same status and entitlements as the 26319 families of PoJK settled in Jammu & Kashmir in the aftermath of 1947.
At a press conference held in the Samiti’s office premises, president Dr. Deepak Kapoor and general secretary Arun Chowdhary thanked the present Government for its positive approach towards displaced persons outside J&K, culminating in this historic judgment. They lamented the previous Governments’ neglect, which led to the deprivation of rights for those settled outside Jammu & Kashmir, necessitating the intervention of the High Court.
The PoJK Visthapit Sewa Samiti has diligently followed the court proceedings through its allied unit, Mirpur Balidan Bhawan Samiti, and extended congratulations to the entire PoJK Visthapit/ displaced community on this significant achievement. The conference was also attended by Pt Ashok Khajuria, Subhash Kumar and Devinder Sharma.
