JAMMU, Oct 17: SOS International, an organization of PoJK displaced persons has expressed concern over the alleged insensitive attitude of the Government towards the grievances of displaced community.
Addressing a press conference here, chairman SOS International, Rajiv Chuni said that ‘PM Central Assistant Scheme for PoJK DPs’ which was not fully implemented, was suddenly stopped without any reason depriving hundreds of displaced families from cash assistance.
“Several cases of PoJK DPs which have been duly passed or were in the process, are lying in the offices of PRO, Divisional Commissioner and Union Home Ministry as the Government has suddenly stopped the scheme,” he further said.
Chuni urged the Central Government to continue the scheme and cover all the left out families of PoJK DPs in a time bound manner.
He demanded that those DPs, registered outside J&K having their record of PoJK origin should also be allowed to file their claims without asking them to produce PRC.
Chuni reiterated the demand of de-freezing of eight PoJK Assembly constituencies and nomination of DPs for the same.
He informed that SOS International will observe Black Day on October 22 by organizing a function at Krishna Public School, Bakshi Nagar, Jammu at 10 am wherein tribute will be paid to martyrs of the community who lost their lives during tribal/Pakistani raid in Muzaffarabad, Mirpur, Kotli, Bhimber, Deva-Vattala, Chhamb, Poonch, Gilgit-Baltistan and Askardu areas in 1947.
He said that J&K BJP president, Ravinder Raina has consented to participate in the tribute paying function.
