Chuni apprised Dulloo 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. “The transfer of said land falls Under Section 254-C of 1965 (C. 7056423) has been stopped in compliance to the Government order (No. Rev-Regt/69/2022 dated 06/09/23) with description of matter that the Transfer of Land under Government Order No. 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,” he said.
Chuni said some DPs were allotted lands under 254-C, Section-3A but unfortunately there was no record is 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.
He also referred to the problems being faced by some DPs with regard to PM Package. Necessary instructions to all the concerned Government officials be issued for removing hurdles. He said the DPs registered outside J&K should be allowed to file their claims for financial assistance on the basis of record of PoJK.
Chuni said that all the DPs from PoJK belongs to Pahari Tribe, Pahari Clan and their mother tongue is also Pahari, so the “Pahari Speaking People” certificate should be issued to them, irrespective of their present residence as these people are bonafide residents of Mirpur, Muzaffarabad and Poonch districts.
PoJK leader while quoting sources said the compensation for the properties of Hindus and Sikhs displaced from Mirpur city submerged in Mangla dam, was laying with the Custodian Department of PoJK Government, but there was no one to receive it.
The Chief Secretary listened to their issues and assured the delegation that their genuine concerns will be taken up with the concerned authorities and addressed.
