JAMMU, Aug 19: Youth All India Kashmiri Samaj (YAIKS) in its meeting here today held under the chairmanship of its president R K Bhat has demanded that the Central Government should have direct control over Relief Organization which is the nodal agency for Kashmiri migrants rather than State Government as all funds for the welfare of displaced people are being given by Union Government.
Mr Bhat said that the GoI should directly monitor the Relief Organisation and there should be no interference of the State Government in that. He accused the State Government of its total failure in taking the responsibility of the displaced people who are the aborigines of the State.
Bhat alleged that the Government was diverting the funds meant for the displaced people in the State and demanded that funds be utilized in consultation with community representatives.
The YAIKS, while taking stock of the problems faced by the displaced people expressed its dismay over the way the 17 zonal officers were shunted from relief organization. This way the Government has made the displaced employees idle who are at the verge of retirement and put them to a sort of harassment.
The meeting alleged that it was a deliberate attempt to disturb the displaced Pandit employees and their families. Earlier Government disturbed the migrant teachers by posting them in far-flung and militancy infested Valley and now the relief employees have been targeted.
The meeting said before taking the decision the community leadership should have been consulted as this way the basic problems facing the community can’t be addressed.
