JAMMU, Oct 28: A delegation of the ‘SOS International’- an organization for PoK Displaced Persons–under the chairmanship of Rajiv Chuni today met Chief Secretary (CS) Dr Arun Kumar Mehta and submitted a memorandum.
The delegation also comprising V K Datta, Bhai Ram Singh, Ved Raj Bali and S D Gupta raised various issues confronting the PoJK refugees on a day-to-day basis and sought his personal intervention for immediate redressal of their genuine grievances.
During the meeting, Chuni apprised the Chief Secretary that the PoJK refugees became owner in possession of land falls under Section 254-C of 1965 all over the J&K by way of inheritance on the basis of Law of Succession Act but not on the basis of direct allottee of Government.
“The transfer of said land falls under Section 254-C of 1965 (C. 7056423) has been stopped in compliance to the Government order (Number Rev-Regt/69/2022 dated 06/09/23) with description of matter that the Transfer of Land under Government Order Number 254-C of 1965 is under clarification. This transfer of land under section 254-C of 1965 should be allowed to PoJK DPs immediately without any delay,” Chuni said.
The SOS International chairman said some displaced persons were allotted lands under 254-C, Section-3A but unfortunately there was no record of theirs available with the Provincial Rehabilitation Officer (PRO) Jammu. “These DPs should be allowed to file their claims on the basis of their allotments because such allotments were allowed to PoJK DPs only,” he said.
The delegation said that the PoJK displaced persons were facing problems in filling their cases due to the unnecessary conditions imposed for getting cash assistance under ‘PM Central Assistant Scheme for PoJK DPs’.
He also said the displaced persons registered outside J&K should be allowed to file their claims for financial assistance on the basis of record of PoJK without asking them to produce State Subject Certificate (PRC).
