In the realm of governance, the provision of adequate accommodation for employees is not merely a matter of convenience; it is a testament to the commitment of an administration towards the welfare and efficiency of its workforce. The recent meeting chaired by the Lieutenant Governor, focusing on the construction of transit accommodations for PM package employees in Kashmir, signifies a crucial stride towards fulfilling this commitment. The directive from the Lieutenant Governor to accelerate the pace of work reflects a proactive approach aimed at addressing the pressing needs of the employees covered under the Prime Minister’s special package. Recently, these migrant employees have found themselves targeted by desperate terrorists who are alarmed by the peaceful atmosphere in Kashmir. With dwindling local support, terrorists have shifted tactics, resorting to targeted killings of these employees to instigate panic. Considering the trauma induced by the targeted killings, residing on rent in distant locations proves to be deeply distressing for some employees. Enduring the perpetual pressure of unseen threats becomes overwhelming, especially for those dealing with additional medical conditions. The timely conclusion of this stage of transit accommodation construction will offer substantial relief to such migrant employees.
The provision of transit accommodation serves as a crucial measure to ensure the safety and security of these migrant employees within the Kashmir valley. The Government has made a steadfast commitment to ensure the timely completion of this phase of transit accommodations. With the LG personally overseeing the progress of the work, the construction process is poised to be expedited. The Government’s dedication to fulfilling its promises hinges upon the timely completion of these accommodations. Interventions from the highest office of the UT at regular intervals will undoubtedly facilitate the timely completion of the transit accommodation, thereby safeguarding the interests and security of the migrant employees. The provision of event-free tenure for migrant employees holds the potential to inspire many others to resume their duties in Kashmir. The Government is fully cognizant of the favourable outcomes associated with timely completion.
